In this course, you’ll discover the forces acting on an airplane during a climb and why lift, weight, thrust, and drag must stay in balance. You’ll explore the two key types of climbs—Best Angle of Climb (Vx) and Best Rate of Climb (Vy)—and how each is used for different flying situations. You’ll also see how climbing too fast or too slow affects performance, and how pilots choose the right climb attitude to get the aircraft safely and efficiently to altitude. Finally, you'll learn about the importance of understanding weather conditions and how they can impact climb performance. By the end of this module, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions during climbs.

In this course, you’ll learn how airplanes gain altitude through different types of climbs. From the science of forces at work to the techniques pilots use to climb efficiently, you’ll explore how speed, thrust, and attitude all come together.
