The Atmosphere
Meteorology is the study of the Earth’s atmosphere and the physical processes that occur within it. Flight academies teach Meteorology since it is extremely important for student pilots because the

Lift and Weight
As air flows around an aerofoil the pressure differential setup over the upper and lower surfaces produces a force. This force acts perpendicular to relative airflow and is known as

Flight Controls
In flight, an aircraft can rotate about any one or any combination of its three rotation axes. These axes are at right angles to each other and all pass through

Clouds
