This course focuses on the physics of the atmosphere and its consequences on speed and altitude measurements. At the end of this course, you will understand precisely the meaning of the speed and altitude indication available to the pilot of an airplane. You will understand the difference between standard and actual atmosphere and be able to perform basic altitude and speed correction computations. You will understand why jet airliners need to be pressurized, or why a clogged Pitot tube can mislead a pilot. Although some math equations are used from time to time to justify certain results. This course insists on curve shapes, figures, tables, and you can efficiently follow it while skipping the equation-solving parts if you do not fancy them. This course is a part of the specialization "Fundamentals of Flight mechanics".

best analysis on standard atmospher and fluid charactristics of aircraft, i am really happy and thankful to coursera for providing such core course and faculty from isae-supareo. really thankful.
LS
Nice introduction to the fundamentals of airspeed and altimetry - interesting videos depicting the inner mechanics of the instruments and the interactive performance charts.
GS
Excellent explanation, tutorials and materialsThe quizes are not straight forward, they make you think deeplyStrong focus on fundamentals
RB
Really helpful, especially if your course is aligned with the aviation industry

this part of certification is also very interesting, it would be necessary if you want to understand the mechanics of flight well.

thank you your course is very great and fantastic
i gained al a lot of information
informative and well guided.
Excellent cours ! Merci
ADHD go bonk
Amazing
good
It wasa great course. Not so easy to follow but with perseverance, it is achievable. I learned so many things and it is a reminder what the humans have accomplished in the past century.
Mr Poquillon demonstarates quite wonderfully the aspects of the anemobarometry.
Can't wait to start course #3.
good
