Nine chapters from the four forces to the accident chain, what holds an aircraft up, what the rules are protecting, and why the decisions that matter most are made before anyone leaves the ground.
The first level of the Aviation track, and no prior knowledge is assumed. It opens with what a pilot is actually responsible for, builds the physics until you can look at an aircraft and explain why it is shaped the way it is, then spends the second half on the things that decide whether a flight ends well: airspace, weather, engines, the human being in the seat, and the chain of small decisions behind almost every accident. Seven interactive models, a mission scenario in every chapter, and an open-response exercise read by ATLAS.
