4. Wing 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

5. Empennage (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

25. Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)  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

26. Magnetic Compass Courtesy of FAA: Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, AC 61-23B

27. Magnetic Compass  Lubber line  Rotating compass card  turns in opposite direction from DG  Accurate only when flying in smooth air, in straight & level, unaccelerated flight
