Civil Aviation Cabin Services

This course covers the history of meteorology, the structure of the atmosphere, pressure systems, temperature, inversion, humidity, density, altimeter, winds, general circulation, atmospheric stability, meteorological factors restricting visibility, synoptic charts, clouds, precipitation, thunderstorms, tropopause, turbulence, jet streams, icing, air masses, fronts, meteorological documents for flight, METAR, SPECI, TAF, SIGMET, AIRMET, and meteorological charts. In addition, within the framework of flight theory, aerostatic and aerodynamic support, angle of attack, aerodynamic forces, aerodynamic moment, airflow, boundary layer, airfoil, stall, drag, basic flight performance, turns, structural loads, main aircraft components, and flight control surfaces are also included in the course.

The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge and concepts related to flight theory and aviation meteorology. Within the scope of the course, meteorological elements important for aviation such as the structure of the atmosphere, pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, clouds, precipitation, frontal systems, turbulence, icing, and meteorological reports are covered. In addition, basic concepts of flight theory, aerodynamic forces, flight performance, airflow, stall, drag, main aircraft components, and flight control surfaces are examined in order to help students understand the relationship between meteorological conditions and the principles of flight.
