In order to control an aircraft safely and make correct decisions during a flight, a pilot must have an understanding of the Principles of Flight. This course, which is compatible with the Royal Air Force Air Cadet Publication (ACP) of the same name, explores the forces an aircraft is subjected to during flight, the controls used and discusses the basic elements of flight.
We recommend that all pilots, whether new to flight simulation or a seasoned veteran, explores this course before starting any in-simulator training so that they have a good understanding of how an aircraft operates. At the end of the course there is an assessment paper should you wish to test your knowledge, a mandatory component for Air Cadets, and an award will be made to your profile upon successful completion.
