Aircraft Control Surfaces Assignment

The three axes of flight motion are:

• Scroll, Rich, and Paw

• Roll, Pitch, and Yaw

• Roll, Twitch, and Gnaw

• Role, Pitch, and Saw

The _____________ control roll of a plane

• Rudder

• Flaps

• Elevator

• Aileron(s)

The _____________ control pitch of a plane

• Rudder

• Flaps

• Elevator

• Aileron(s)

The _____________ control yaw of a plane

• Rudder

• Flaps

• Elevator

• Aileron(s)

Which two axes of motion are controlled by the yoke of the plane?

• Pitch and Yaw

• Roll and Yaw

• Roll and Pitch

• Roll is the only axis controlled by the yoke

How is Yaw controlled in an airplane?

• The yoke

• Left and Right pedals

• A lever left of the yoke

• A separate yoke on the copilot side of the plane

If the left aileron of a plane is lowered and the right aileron raised, what will be the resulting motion of the plane?

• The plane will roll right

• The plane will roll left

• The plane will yaw right

• The plane will yaw left

What would a pilot have to do to make an the nose of a plane pitch upward?

• Push the yoke away

• Pull the yoke toward themselves

• Depress both pedals at the same time

• Ask the plane nicely

If a pilot were to depress the left pedal on a plane, what would happen?

• The elevator will lower, causing the plane to dive down

• The rudder will deflect left, causing the plane to yaw right

• The left aileron will move up causing the plane to roll left

• The rudder will deflect left, causing the plane to yaw left

If a pilot rotates the yoke right (clockwise), what will happen?

• The right aileron will raise, the left aileron will lower, and the plane will roll right.

• The left aileron will raise, the right aileron will lower, and the plane will roll left.

• The right aileron will raise, the left aileron will lower, and the plane will roll left.

• The left aileron will raise, the right aileron will lower, and the plane will roll right.
