Aircraft controls are the systems that pilots use to operate and maneuver an aircraft. The primary controls include the yoke or control stick, which helps steer the aircraft, and the throttle, which regulates engine power. Other important controls are the rudder pedals, which manage the aircraft's yaw, and various switches and levers for flaps and landing gear. These controls work together to ensure safe and efficient flight. By adjusting the yoke or control stick, pilots can change the aircraft's pitch and roll. The rudder and ailerons assist in maintaining stability and direction, allowing for smooth takeoffs, turns, and landings.
