Apart from aileron, elevator and rudder, there are also secondary flight controls which help with different maneuvers and improve performance.

Aviation Terminology - Aspect Ratio
Remember when we talk about induced drag, we said aircraft with long and thin wing (e.g. glider) can help reduce induced drag? In fact, it is the Aspect Ratio (AR) that's matter.

Principles of Flight - Adverse Yaw
Have you ever heard of "Adverse Yaw"? When I was studying, I was confused by the difference of adverse yaw and the secondary effect of roll.
Principles of Flight - Secondary Effects
When we roll or yaw an aircraft, there is secondary effects accompany. Pilots should learn about those secondary effects in order to better control the aircraft.

Principles of Flight - Primary Flight Controls (2)
Previously, we have talked about how to manipulate different control surfaces. But why would the deflection of control surfaces (e.g. aileron, elevator and rudder) lead to certain flight movements? Let's further explore it !
Principles of Flight - Primary Flight Controls (1)
All maneuvers are done based on different combinations of primary flight movement including Roll, Pitch and Yaw.
Aviation Terminology - Different Parts of Aircraft
Just like we have to understand our body in order to control it, we should also learn about different parts of the aircraft before we can maneuver it.
