Explain how the rudder, aileron, and elevator/stabilator deflection move an airplane around the center of gravity through each of the three axes of flight.

Explanation should include 

• rudder—controls yaw 
• aileron—controls roll 
• elevator/stabilator—controls pitch 
• the axes of flight—vertical, lateral, longitudinal
• center of gravity—point about which an aircraft will balance and at which the total weight of an aircraft is considered concentrated. 

Process/Skill Questions: 

• What are the axes of flight? 
• Which component controls which axis?
