Wing Control SurfacesWing Control Surfaces Ailerons
move in opposite directions for turns controls roll (or bank) controlled by yoke or stick
right pressure turns right left pressure turns left
Flaps extend downward to increase lifting force for
landings and sometimes takeoffs controlled by flap handle or switch
pre-selected positions or variable positions
Empennage (Tail) Control SurfacesEmpennage (Tail) Control Surfaces Rudder controls yaw
controlled by floor pedals right pressure moves nose to right left pressure moves nose to left
Elevator (stabilator on Cherokee) controls pitch controlled by yoke or stick
forward pressure lowers nose back pressure raises nose
Trim Tab helps hold pitch attitude controlled by trim wheel
move wheel forward for nose down trim move wheel back for nose up trim

Trend Information shows information on
increase or decrease in climb speed increase or decrease in descent speed level flight
Rate Information shows stabilized
feet per minute (FPM) rate of descent feet per minute (FPM) rate of climb
rates appropriate for student pilots are 500 feet per minute (FPM) rate of descent 500 feet per minute (FPM) rate of climb

Lubber line Rotating compass card
turns in opposite direction from DG Accurate only when flying in smooth air, in straight &
level, unaccelerated flight
Rules for Putting It All TogetherWhat to Do If an Emergency Occurs
• Rule 1 - Fly the airplane (maintain flight control)
• Rule 2 - Follow instructions from ATC
• Rule 3 - Land the Airplane
