    The document is a midterm exam for an Aerospace Engineering flight mechanics course. It contains 6 short questions asking students to explain how to determine an airplane's angular position, why certain angular rates are not equal to others, which coordinate system is best for modeling airplane equations of motion and why, the difference between pitch angle and angle of attack, what a trim point is and how many an airplane has, and whether a body-fixed frame can be used as an inertial frame. Students are instructed to show work, include units, and limit their answers to between 1 to 3 sentences depending on the question.
