Aircraft Maintenance Practice Test: Flight Dynamics and Control
Fast practice, instant feedback. Timer auto-submits when time’s up.
Avg score: 88% Most missed: “Which of the following gives the viscosity of flow?”

Flight dynamics is the study of how forces and moments affect the motion and stability of an aircraft. Flight control is how aircraft are controlled. 

Flight dynamics and control involve:
Analyzing and manipulating the forces and moments acting on a flying vehicle
Feedback systems that regulate its stability and performance 

The principle of flight is made up of four fundamental forces: Lift, Weight, Drag, Thrust. 
These forces work together in a delicate balance to determine an aircraft's trajectory.
