After a presentation of the principle of piloted vehicle mechanics, the study of the aircrft longitudinal movement is undertaken. Assuming that the pilot counters with his lateral controls any sideslip, and that the aircraft plane of symmetry is vertical, the trajectory, is described in that same vertical plane. The natural modes (angle of attack oscillation, phugoid, aperiodic motion) of the small movements around the straight and level flight, the response to the pilot's commands, and the equilibrium stability, are studied. Small lateral movements around straight and level flight and of the aircraft response to lateral controls are studied. The small movements of the aircraft around the stabilized level flight in rotation are also examined. The assumptions of separation of longitudinal and lateral movements around the stabilized straight and level flight are validated.
