Primary flight controls are required to safely control an aircraft during flight and consist of ailerons, elevators (or, in some installations, stabilator) and rudder .

In the case of many conventional airplanes, the primary flight controls utilize hinged, trailing edge surfaces called elevators for pitch, ailerons for roll, ...

Primary flight controls govern the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons, elevators, rudder and spoiler. Our fixed-wing primary flight control ...

The primary controls are the ailerons, elevator, and the rudder, which provide the aerodynamic force to make the aircraft follow a desired flightpath.

In this video I explain the primary flight control surfaces of an airplane. I also discuss the secondary flight controls.
