What are the dynamics of a plane?

Flight dynamics is the science of air-vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation with respect to the three aircraft’s principal axes about its center of gravity, known as roll, pitch and yaw.

How do planes fly simple explanation?

Airplanes fly because they are able to generate a force called Lift which normally moves the airplane upward. Lift is generated by the forward motion of the airplane through the air. This motion is produced by the Thrust of the engine(s).

What is a Cessna 172 worth?

Given that there are so many variations and features of the Cessna 172, the cost to buy one varies massively. You can expect to pay around $400,000US for a brand new Skyhawk, however prices sit at around $300,000 for a modern 172 on the pre-owned market.

Do simulator hours count?

Sims can help meet requirements of time but it will not give you total flight time. For example, 200 hours of airplane flight time and 50 hours of simulator. You can meet the requirements for the exam but in no way do you have 250 total flight time.

How can you tell the difference between a Cessna 172 and 182?

One difference is consistent, though — on a 172, the fuselage tailcone ends at the leading edge of the rudder, and the rudder extends down to the bottom of the fuselage. On a 182, the rudder “rides” on top of the fuselage tailcone.
