AVSC 180 - Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: PHYS 181
The student will learn to use flight information and cues, and environmental information and cues to develop and maintain a faithful cognitive model of the flight situation (situation awareness) as a basis for pilot judgment and pilot action. The student will gain understanding of aircraft flight behavior, both large scale and micro-scale weather dynamics especially as they impact the flight situation, and gain insight into and confidence in his or her developing competence as a pilot, in preparation for more advanced study. Offered spring semester.
