About This Course

Introduction

The subject of aircraft performance is a core discipline in aviation, focusing on how an aircraft flies in various phases of flight including roll, climb, cruise, and land under various conditions. Mastery of this subject is legally required and highly essential for several key positions such as Flight Operations Roles, Commercial and Airline Pilots, Flight Dispatchers, Flight Operations Officers, Flight Test Pilots, Aerodynamics and Performance Engineers, Flight Test Engineers, Aviation Safety Inspectors and Accident Investigators. Aircraft performance is quantitative evaluation of how well an airplane can execute specific flight manoeuvers and operations under given environmental and loading conditions. Understanding and calculating aircraft performance is critical for several core reasons such as Flight Safety, Legal and Regulatory Compliance, Operational Efficiency and Economics and Emergency Decision-Making. Studying the subject of aircraft performance helps pilots and engineers understand, predict, and optimize how an airplane behaves under various physical and environmental conditions. Sqilah Advanced learnings have created this specially curated course for those who aspire to be in the Flying careers.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course you should be able to:
  • Understand the International Standard Atmosphere and the variation of pressure, temperature, density with altitude.
  • Understand aerodynamic forces, coefficients, drag, polar & propulsion characteristics of various types of engines.
  • Apply the equations of motion for steady, unaccelerated flight.
  • Determine thrust required and power required curves, and identify conditions for minimum drag, minimum power, and maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Analyze the effect of altitude, weight, and configuration on level flight performance.
  • Evaluate rate of climb, angle of climb, and absolute and service ceilings.
  • Determine time to climb, best climb speeds (Vx and Vy) for different aircraft types.
  • Determine conditions for maximum range and maximum endurance and the effect of wind, weight, and altitude.
  • Calculate ground roll, take-off distance, balanced field length, and landing distance.
  • Understand factors affecting take-off and landing: runway conditions, flaps, high-lift devices, ground effect, wind
  • Understand FAR/CS-23 and FAR/CS-25 certification requirements.
  • Construct payload-range diagrams and understand operational limitations.
  • Analyse cruise techniques: constant altitude, constant speed, cruise-climb.
  • Estimate fuel planning, operational flight envelopes, and ETOPS considerations.
  • Estimate performance parameters from given aerodynamic and propulsion data.
  • In short, a student will be able to independently calculate, evaluate, and optimize the complete flight performance of an aircraft for any mission profile and check its compliance with airworthiness standards.
