Description should include the following:

- Each type of aircraft handles somewhat differently in the way each resists or responds to control pressures; for example, a training aircraft is quick to respond to control applications, while a transport aircraft feels heavy on the controls and responds to control pressures more slowly.
- A competent pilot should have a solid understanding of the forces that act on the aircraft, the advantageous use of these forces, and the operating limitations of the aircraft being flown.
