High Altitude Flight Course explores three aspects of high altitude flight: aerodynamics, physiology, and weather. Learning objectives include:

• IAS, TAS, & Mach Number
• airfoil flow characteristics
• high altitude flight limitations
• hypoxia and trapped gases
• decompression and motion sickness
• visual and spatial disorientation
• the effects of alcohol and drugs
• tropopause, troposphere, and jet streams
• Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
• cloud types, thunderstorms, and windshear
• volcanic ash

Each module concludes with a test, and when all the modular tests are successfully completed, a certificate of completion is generated.
