The document provides a course plan for the subject "Flight Dynamics" taught to third year aeronautical engineering students. The course is divided into 5 units covering topics such as cruising flight performance, maneuvering flight performance, static longitudinal stability, lateral and directional stability, and dynamic stability. The course objectives are to study aircraft performance under various operating conditions and the static and dynamic response of aircraft to voluntary and involuntary changes in flight conditions. The course outcomes are that students will be able to analyze aircraft performance, understand static and dynamic stability, and grasp various control stabilities which are essential for aerospace engineering design.
