Section 2 EO C331.01 – REVIEW PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT
Resources needed for the delivery of this lesson are listed in the lesson specification located in A-CR-CCP-803/PG-001, Chapter 4. Specific uses for said resources are identified throughout the instructional guide within the TP for which they are required.
Review the lesson content and become familiar with the material prior to delivering the lesson.
Make copies of the handout located at Annex C for each cadet.
Make a slide of Annex C.
Bring a model airplane.
N/A.
An in-class activity was chosen for this lesson as an interactive way for the cadets to review the three axes of an aircraft and control surfaces.
N/A.
By the end of this lesson the cadet shall have reviewed principles of flight.
It is important for cadets to review the principles of flight as a basis for learning new knowledge and skills. Comprehension of the basic principles of flight will enhance any familiarization flying activity.

|
Time: 20 min
|
Method: In-Class Activity
|
The objective of this activity is review control surfaces and their effects on attitudes and movements.
Model airplane,
Flip chart paper, and
Flip chart markers.
Arrange the classroom to allow for small group work.
1.Divide the cadets into equal groups.
2.Assign each group a control surface (rudder, aileron, or elevator).
3.Have the cadets illustrate, in the fullest detail possible, the control surface assigned to their group. Allow the cadets 10 minutes to complete their illustration.
4.Have the cadets post their group’s illustration on the wall. Have the cadets conduct a gallery walk for five minutes.
5.With the remaining five minutes, lead the cadets in a discussion on each of the control surfaces. Use the model airplane for demonstration purposes.
N/A.
The cadets’ participation in the in-class activity will serve as confirmation of this TP.
The cadets’ participation in the activity in TP 2 will serve as confirmation of this lesson.
N/A.
N/A.
A review of principles of flight is important for understanding higher level material. Cadets who wish to pursue training in aviation must have a solid understanding of how aircraft fly.
If this complementary EO is chosen, it should be scheduled before any other EOs from this PO.
