In this presentation, you will learn how the airfoil works and how it produces lift. Also, you will learn what four basic foces of flight are acting upon the plane during flight and how they affect the way the plane flies.

9. ANGLE OF ATTACK angle between the wing chord and the relative wind

11. AILERON CONTROLS BANK Left bank Right bank Turn the yoke to the left and the left aileron goes down (right goes up) Airplane banks to the left Turn the yoke to the right and the right aileron goes down (left goes up) Airplane banks to the right

12. ELEVATOR CONTROLS PITCH Pull the yoke out and the elevator goes up Airplane pitches up Push the yoke in and the elevator goes down Airplane pitches down

13. RUDDER CONTROLS YAW Push left rudder pedal and the plane yaws to the left Push right rudder pedal and the plane yaws to the right

14. PROPELLER CONTROLS THRUST

15. FLAPS CREATE EXTRA LIFT Flaps down
