1. 080-11-01 Equilibrium and methods of balance planned

   Precondition for static stability · Equilibrium: (a) lift and weight; (b) drag and thrust. · Wing and empennage (tail and canard) · Control surfaces · Ballast or weight trim

2. 080-11-02 Longitudinal stability and the CG planned

   Basics and definitions: (a) static stability, positive, neutral and negative; (b) precondition for dynamic stability; (c) dynamic stability, positive, neutral and negative. · Location of centre of gravity: (a) aft limit and minimum stability margin; (b) forward position; (c) effects on static and dynamic stability.
