CONTROL AXES

The control axes, the three axes of the aircraft, which are perpendicular to each other and pass through the center of gravity of the aircraft. The axis of the pitch-horizontal or transverse axis, runs across the aircraft from one side to the other-controlling the position of the aircraft nose up or nose down using elevator wheels (and stabilizer for trimming). The axis of the roll is the longitudinal axis passing through the aircraft from the front to the rear, operating the wing upwards or wing down using ailerons and flight spoilers. The yaw axis is the vertical axis passing through the aircraft from the top to the bottom, and control is made to the left or to the right using the rudder.
