flight maneuvers

Flight maneuvers are specific movements pilots execute to control and navigate an aircraft. Common maneuvers include turns, where the aircraft changes direction by tilting its wings; climbs and descents, where it gains or loses altitude; and rolls, where it rotates around its forward axis for aerobatic or corrective purposes. Pilots also perform stalls, intentionally reducing lift to understand aircraft responses, and recoveries, to bring the plane back to normal flight. These maneuvers ensure safe, precise control during various flight phases, allowing pilots to navigate, avoid obstacles, and handle different in-flight scenarios effectively.
