He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The definitions and directions of the four fundamental forces of flight: Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag. - The equilibrium state of forces during steady, unaccelerated, level flight where Lift equals Weight and Thrust equals Drag. - How the balance of forces changes during climbs and descents. - Why total lift must be greater than weight during a coordinated, level turn and the concept of increased load factor. - Common AFOQT traps, such as the relationship between forces during a turn versus straight and level flight.
