Learning outcomes
The goal of this subject is to introduce the basic elements and theoretical and practical aspects of aerodynamics and flight mechanics.
After completing the subject, the student is familiar with the issues of aerodynamics and flight mechanics in the scope of the ATPL.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the basics of aerodynamics and flight mechanics in the scope of the PPL.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Didactic test

The condition for participation in the exam is to obtain the credit. This condition is for full-time form of study. The credit confirms that the student participated in the required range and that he / she met the requirements that are conditional on the credit granting. The conditions for granting the credit are determined by the teacher in the first week of the lecture period of the semester. The exam for the full-time form of study is determined in accordance with the UPa Study and Examination Regulations.
