CASA AASA Exam

Hi guys,

Currently studying up for ATPL aerodynamics and systems and have come across something that I haven't seen before with regards to stability (directional stability to be more specific). I have the AFT notes and whilst I am not questioning them I was hoping someone could explain to me why directional stability is affected by flying at high altitude and also why lateral stability is unaffected by high alt's?

Cheers,

Matt
