Flight Control

Flight control refers to the systems and mechanisms within an aircraft that enable pilots to guide and stabilize the plane during flight. This includes surfaces like ailerons, elevators, and rudders, which manipulate the aircraft’s movement along different axes—roll, pitch, and yaw. Modern aircraft also use electronic flight control systems (fly-by-wire) that interpret pilot inputs and automatically adjust control surfaces for optimal performance and safety. Essentially, flight control ensures the aircraft responds accurately to pilot commands and maintains stability, enabling safe navigation through various flight conditions.
