aviation active recall

what is the point where all axis lines pass through, therefore the point an aircraft will rotate about?

centre of gravity

where is an aircraft’s centre of gravity?

at it’s centre of mass

what are the 3 axis of flight?

roll, pitch, and yaw

what are the 3 axis of an aircraft?

longitude, latitude, and normal / vertical 

which axis is responsible for roll?

longitudinal

which motion is the longitudinal axis responsible for?

roll

which axis is responsible for pitch?

latitude

which motion is the latitude axis responsible for?

pitch 

which axis is responsible for yaw?

normal / vertical

which motion is the normal / vertical axis responsible for?

yaw

of the 3 fundamental axis of flight, which are horizontal and which are vertical?

horizontal - longitude and latitude

vertical - normal

what is roll?

rotation about the longitudinal (horizontal) axis to bank the plane left or right

how does a pilot control roll?

what is pitch?

rotation about the latitude (horizontal) axis to pitch the plane up or down

how does a pilot control pitch?

what is yaw?

rotation about the normal (vertical) axis to turn the plane left or right.

how does a pilot control yaw?

how is yaw different to roll?
