The secret to a successful flight lies in calculations, analyzing weather reports, considering alternate destinations and routes, and the details of flight development-in other words, in planning.

Flight planning varies depending on the type of aircraft to be used, but the principle of analysis is the same in all cases. Weather considerations, aircraft performance, fuel, route, charts, terrain analysis, among various other variables, comprise a set of pre-flight studies that ensure the best operational performance.

In this work, you will learn to plan a flight following a logical sequence of steps, analyzing different scenarios for various types of aircraft.

Remember! The success of a flight begins several hours before takeoff, when you decide to plan the operation. A mistake at this moment could affect the final outcome, but a sequence of correct decisions will guarantee the success of your flight.
