flight controls
Flight controls are essential components in an aircraft that allow the pilot to maneuver and direct the plane during flight. The primary controls include the yoke (or control stick), which manages the ailerons for rolling the aircraft, and the elevators for climbing or descending. The rudder pedals control the vertical stabilizer, helping with the plane's direction. Together, these controls enable pilots to maintain stability, perform turns, and ensure safe landings and takeoffs. Understanding how these controls work is crucial for safe aviation operations.
