The course also covers how weight is distributed across an aircraft and the significance of the center of gravity in ensuring safe and efficient flight operations.</p>

This advanced module explores the concept of weight as one of the four principal forces acting on an aircraft in flight. It examines the distinction between mass & weight, the role of gravitational acceleration, and how weight interacts with other force.
