Ailerons - ✔✔-bank the aircraft left/right
Elevator - ✔✔-pitches the aircraft up/down
Rudder - ✔✔-connected to nose wheel, moves left/right (also used to steer aircraft on the ground)
Longitudinal axis - ✔✔-long axis from the nose to the tail (ailerons roll the plane around this axis)
Lateral axis - ✔✔-goes wingtip to wingtip (the aircraft pitches about this axis by the elevator)
Vertical axis - ✔✔-goes from the bottom up (the aircraft yaws about this axis controlled by the rudder)
Secondary flight controls - ✔✔-flaps, trim, spoilers
Primary flight controls - ✔✔-ailerons, elevator, rudder
P-factor - ✔✔-due to the angle of attack of the PROPELLOR, or the angle at which the air meet the
propellor
Spiral slip stream - ✔✔-air being spiraled around fuselage due to propeller not only pushing air
backwards to pull the plane through the air, but also slipping air around as it moves through the blades
Torque effect - ✔✔-propellor turning to the right, and being that it is heavy and generating trust
(airplane turns let as a reaction ot the propeller turning right)
