What part of the planes wing controls the direction of the plane?
Rudder on the wing of the plane controls the direction.
How does a pilot change the direction of the plane?
A pilot has special controls on the plane which are used to fly the plane. These are used to roll, pitch, and yaw the plane. To roll the plane to the right or left, the ailerons are raised on one wing and lowered on the other. The wing with the lowered aileron rises while the wing with the raised aileron drops. Pitch is to make a plane descend or climb. The pilot adjusts the elevators on the tail to make a plane descend or climb. Lowering the elevators caused the airplane's nose to drop, sending the plane into a down. Raising the elevators causes the airplane to climb. Yaw is the turning of a plane. When the rudder is turned to one side, the airplane moves left or right. The airplane's nose is pointed in the same direction as the direction of the rudder. The rudder and the ailerons are used together to make a turn .
What is the name of the device in the vertical stabilizer or tail of a plane that controls its side to side movement?
The Rudder in the vertical stabiliser controls its side to side movement (Also known as Yaw).
How does a pilot control roll pitch and yaw?
In classic aircraft controls, the airplane's rudder controls yaw, the elevators control pitch and the ailerons control roll. The control handle controls rudders and elevators while ailerons are controlled by foot pedals.
Who directs the course of a ship or plane?
navigator
How many controls do airplanes have?
Most general aviation airplanes have pitch, yaw and bank controls. The pitch is controlled by the elevators, the yaw is controlled by the rudder pedals, and the bank is controlled by the alerons. Also there is what is called a trim tab which are intergrated in the elevator and rudder to take pressure off the control wheel or Yoke, or stick as it is called.

Airplanes basic contols?
Elevator - moves plane up and down Rudder - moves plane left and right (called yawing) Many planes also have aeilerons - this rolls the plane left and right. Most of these controls have trim tabs on their control surfaces so you can adjust the controls so the plane will fly straight and level in various flying conditions.
What is the end of a plane called?
