This DGCA CPL ground classes cover the following topics:

• Theory of Flight: Students will learn about the four fundamental forces that govern an aircraft's movement: Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag. By studying these forces, students will understand how the wings generate lift and how the angle of attack influences the aircraft’s ability to climb or descend.
• Airframe and Systems: In this class, students will explore the physical structure of the aircraft and the different systems that ensure its safe operation. They will learn how the airframe, which includes the wings, fuselage, and tail, is built to withstand the forces of flight. They’ll also learn about the aircraft systems that control flight, such as fuel, hydraulic, electrical, and flight control systems.
