Basics, Effects of Controls
Chapter 4.1
Objectives
To know the difference between primary and secondary controls
To know the effects of the control surfaces
The Effects of Flight Controls
As long as the controls remain engaged, the effects too remain constant: the airplane will continue to pivot around the corresponding axis.
The controls need to be returned to their neutral position once the desired position is achieved in order to prevent the plane from continuing to turn.
The primary controls are RATE CONTROLS.

MOCK UP BRIEFING / Training Model
The functions of the commands are discussed and explained at the MOCK-UP of the basic school airplane or in the cockpit of a resting airplane.

Questions
List the different control surfaces and the axis they influence
ELEVATOR / PITCH AXIS
AILERON LONGITUDINAL AXIS
RUDDER VERTICAL AXIS
What is meant by SECONDARY FLIGHT CONTROLS?
A set of aircraft devices whose change generates aerodynamic effects which causes a rotation of the aircraft around an axis. Eg. change in engine power.
