Q

What happens when the right pedal is pushed forward

A

Deflects the rudder to the right which moves the nose of the aircraft to the right along the yaw

Q

What happens when moving the control column aft

A

Aft movement of the control column deflects the trailing edge of the elevator surface up. This is usually referred to as the up-elevator position. The up-elevator position decreases the camber of the elevator and creates a downward aerodynamic force, which is greater than the normal tail-down force that exists in straight-and- level flight. The overall effect causes the tail of the aircraft to move down and the nose to pitch up.

Q

What happens when moving the control column forward

A

Moving the control column forward has the opposite effect. In this case, elevator camber increases, creating more lift (less tail-down force) on the horizontal stabilizer/elevator. This moves the tail upward and pitches the nose down. Again, the pitching moment occurs about the CG.
