POF - Flight Controls

What are the aircraft axis? (select all that apply)

• Longitudinal

• Lateral

• Rudder

• Normal

What are the primary flight controls? (Select all that apply)

• Rudder

• Aileron

• Flaps

• Elevator

The aircraft _______ about the lateral axis

• Rolls

• Yaws

• Dives

• Pitches

To roll the aircraft how would you manipulate the controls?

• Move the control column forward and aft

• Lower 2 stages of flap

• Press left/right on the rudder pedals

• Move the control column left/right

The controls use ____________ to create a reaction force

• Deflection of air

• Reflection of air

• Affection of air

• Confliction of air

The ailerons control the aircraft in?

• Yaw

• Roll

• Pitch

• Speed

To roll the aircraft left how will the ailerons be deflected?

• Left aileron will move down and the right aileron will move down

• Left aileron will move up and the right aileron will move up

• Left aileron will move down and the right aileron will move up

• Left aileron will move up and the right aileron will move down

What is the secondary effect of roll

• Further roll

• Pitch

• Slip and yaw out of the turn

• Slip and yaw into the turn

If an aircraft experiences unwanted yaw to the right:

• The aircraft will gain speed due to a increase of drag

• The aircraft will slip and roll to the right

• The aircraft will skid and then roll to the left

• The aircraft will skid and then roll to the right

In a uncoordinated roll the aircraft will:

• Pitch up. This is called adverse pitch

• Tend to roll in the opposite direction. This is called adverse roll

• Yaw out of the turn. This is called adverse yaw

• Yaw out of the turn. This is called adverse roll
