The Axes of an Aircraft
Longitudinal Axis – “roll”
Controlled by Ailerons
Vertical Axis – “yaw”
Controlled by the Rudder
Lateral Axis – “pitch”
Controlled by Elevators
Ailerons
Controlcolumn
Push right
Left aileron down
Right aileron up
Aircraft rolls right
•Aircraft rolls right
And continues to do so until thecontrol column is placed
in the neutral position
Aircraft rolls right
• Control column left• Left aileron up• Right aileron down• Aircraft rolls left
Summary
Rudder
The rudder is controlled by ‘Rudder Pedals’ in the cockpit
Rudder pedals set to neutral
Push right pedal forwards (left will come back towards you!)

SAFETY ON THE GROUND
When on the Ground
• Never approach an aircraft unless told to do so
• Never walk towards the propeller. Always approach from an angle that can be seen
• Remove any hats in the aircraft dispersal area – Look & Listen
Parachute Fitted
Seat Harness
Rip Cord Extended
ONLY PULL THIS CORD IN AN EMERGENCY BALE OUT!
AND WHEN YOU HAVE FALLEN CLEAR OF THE AIRCRAFT
When on the Ground
• If a Jet beware of both the intake and the exhaust areas
• Keep hands away from your parachute ’D’ ring
• Listen to the Ground crews or Staff Cadets
Ready to go!
SAFETY IN THE AIR
While in the Air
• Talk to the pilot – ask questions
• Ask to see the effects of controls
• Ask about the instruments
• Only touch the controls when told to do so
While in the Air
• Keep hands & feet away from the controls if you are not flying the aircraft
• Listen to any commands, if not sure ask to repeat
• Ensure that you have no loose articles in your pocket
Summary
• Ask Questions• Ask to take control• Do not touch unless
told to do so• Think Safe• Look & Listen
Above all else...... Enjoy your flight

column to the right?• From which direction should you approach the
Tutor?
Questions
• Which control can you touch first?• What is an ASI?• What is an Artificial Horizon?• What is this?
