Descending

You’ll discover the forces acting on an aircraft during a steady, straight descent—where thrust plays little to no role in a glide, and how adding power changes the nose attitude and descent rate.

About This Course

You’ll discover the forces acting on an aircraft during a steady, straight descent—where thrust plays little to no role in a glide, and how adding power changes the nose attitude and descent rate.

You’ll also learn about the effects of speed and attitude on descent performance: why flying too fast or too slow can affect efficiency, and how steeper or shallower angles of descent change the way the airplane comes down.

Understanding these principles is crucial for pilots to effectively manage their aircraft during critical phases of flight. Ultimately, mastering glide dynamics can enhance safety and improve landing precision.
