One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft, weather conditions, and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course.

Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course, each student is to answer a sequence of questions that step through the planning process. Remember, as with all of the exercises, all work (calculations) must be shown as much as possible.

After all of the questions have been answered, the next task is to create a two-dimensional representation of the flight path showing the airspeeds, distance, fuel burned, and fuel remaining for the Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, and Approach phases of the flight.
