Numerical checks
Do the equations balance? Does a smaller time step or finer discretisation give a consistent answer? These checks test the calculation.
TRACEABLE TEACHING MODELS
Read the evidence
behind the model.
Use a result with a clear understanding of the equations, checks and applicability behind it. This page records a focused review, not a certification of the whole laboratory.
Reference checks
Does the implementation reproduce an analytical limit or an independently published benchmark? A reference used to fit a model is a calibration anchor.
Measured-data validation
Does the model reproduce independent observations within a stated tolerance and operating range? Passing numerical checks alone does not establish this.

Coverage of the wider laboratory
The Learning Atlas includes the existing aircraft, aerodynamics, performance, control, propulsion and aviation-operations modules. The focused checks listed here cover selected models only. Earlier modules retain their own model notes and sources; a chapter absent here has not been newly reviewed in this round.
Precise-looking numbers, a smooth curve or a small residual does not establish physical accuracy. Operational demonstrations use fictional or explicitly identified reference data and do not issue clearances or approved operating instructions.
