CHAPTER 1 · EASA Module 8.1
Physics of the Atmosphere
The foundation of aerodynamics — how the atmosphere behaves, the layers above us, pressure and density changes with altitude, and the international standard atmosphere.
CHAPTER 2 · EASA Module 8.2
Aerodynamics
How air flows around an aircraft. Bernoulli's principle, boundary layers, airfoil shapes, angle of attack, lift and drag — the physics that lets aircraft fly.
CHAPTER 3 · EASA Module 8.3
Theory of Flight
The four forces in action — lift, weight, thrust, drag. How aircraft climb, glide, turn and stall. High-speed flight, shock waves, and rotary-wing fundamentals.
CHAPTER 4 · EASA Module 8.4
Flight Stability and Dynamics
The three axes of an aircraft and how it stays stable in flight. Longitudinal, lateral and directional stability, static and dynamic behaviour, and the design factors that keep aircraft controllable.
