This course aims to teach students the fundamentals of conducting experiments in flight. By the end of the course, learners will be able to weigh and calculate the center of gravity, perform various flight experiments, calibrate control surfaces, understand sensors and data acquisition, estimate neutral points, conduct stability tests, and perform aerodynamic parameter estimations. The teaching method involves a combination of theoretical explanations and hands-on experiments. This course is intended for individuals interested in aviation, aeronautics, or aerospace engineering.

This course taught me a great foundation on experiments during flight. It teaches you how to prep and also think outside the box on safety concerns such as weight balance transfers, propulsion ration and fostering an environment of safety measures. This was an awesome course.
