Title: Explain stability and controllability.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Examining the Forces that Act on Aircraft

Explanation should include the following:

- Stability is the inherent quality of an aircraft to correct for conditions that may disturb its equilibrium and to return to or to continue on the original flight path. It is primarily an aircraft design characteristic.
- The flight paths and attitudes an aircraft flies are limited by the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft, its propulsion system, and its structural strength.
