generator? the boundary layer.
What are the three axes of an Longitudinal, lateral, and vertical.
airplane?
What are the three primary flight The ailerons, elevators, and rudder.
controls of an aircraft?
Name several secondary flight Secondary flight controls consist of various types
controls and describe their general of trim tabs such as balance tabs, anti-servo and
purpose? servo tabs, and spring tabs. Their function is to
assist the pilot in moving the controls and to trim
the aircraft to fly hands-off.
Name several types of auxiliary The auxiliary flight controls consist of the various
flight controls and describe their high-lift devices used during low-speed flight
general purpose? such as leading and trailing edge flaps, slats,
slots, speed brakes, etc.
, What is a servo trim tab? It is an auxiliary control, positioned by the
movement of a primary control and designed to
create aerodynamic forces to assist in moving a
control surface.
