Principles Of Flight

An understanding of the principles of flight is essential for evaluating aircraft performance, limitations, and operational behaviour. Flight Dispatchers must understand how aerodynamic forces and operational conditions can influence aircraft performance and flight planning decisions.

The Principles of Flight module provides structured theoretical training designed for Flight Dispatcher trainees, flight operations personnel, operations control centre staff, and aviation professionals who need to develop or consolidate their understanding of aircraft aerodynamics and flight mechanics.

The module has been developed in alignment with competency-based training and assessment principles and with the relevant knowledge, skills, and operational applications addressed in ICAO Doc 10106, Manual on Flight Operations Officers/Flight Dispatchers Competency-based Training and Assessment.
