Introduction

By completing this course, you will be able to define and differentiate mass and weight, explain how weight acts as a force on an aircraft, and describe the critical role of the center of gravity.

This knowledge equips you with the skills to better anticipate and respond to the effects of weight during flight planning and in-flight decision-making, contributing to safer and more efficient aircraft operations.

Additionally, you will gain insights into how various factors, such as load distribution and fuel levels, influence an aircraft's performance and stability. Mastering these concepts will ultimately enhance your proficiency as a pilot and your ability to ensure optimal flight safety.
