Stability and Control

Bert Says:
Don't panic! It's not as scary as it first appears to stay in control.

You need to understand the Pitching movement of the aircraft.
That's like nodding your head up and down.

(Monochrome Photograph Middle showing) - ROLLING PLANE OF MOVEMENT
Next you need to consider the rolling of the aircraft.
This is like keeping your head vertical and leaning it towards your left shoulder and then across to your right.

Finally, there is a third type of movement that you experience called Yaw.
That's simply turning around in a circle on the spot.

Now you're ready to start flying and join me up in the air!
