Congratulations!!
You have now completed the The Fuselage and Empennage lesson of the Theory of Flight Module. Of course, this lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.
You are now ready to move along to the next Theory of Flight lesson you have not completed or to any other module you wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to challenge the final exam.
Good Luck!
