Aircraft have two controls that are used together to control altitude.
- The elevator is used to increase the nose up pitch of the aircraft and it starts to climb
- The throttle must then be increased so the air craft will continue at the speed needed to climb
The throttle can be used only in some aircraft but it is not a real stable usable thing, the elevator must be used to stabilise the aircraft
To descend oer maintain altitude the same controls are used together.

When on a sailboat under power of a small motor do you lash the tiller and steer by motor or keep the motor straight and steer by tiller?
This is a WAG from a power boater, not a sailboater, but...I think there are two things to consider. (assuming you don't have remote controls for your kicker) First, how accessible is the outboard? If the outboard is so far aft of the cockpit that you can't reach the tiller (or wheel) then you will need to be with the engine for forward/reverse control and speed control. On the other hand, if your outboard is close enough to the rudder control to use it, the rudder has much greater surface area and you would have more steering control using the rudder. Just an educated guess. Good luck. From a sailor- On my boat I steer by rudder and leave the motor amidships for normal motoring But the outboard, with its directional thrust, is very handy when in tight quarters especially at low speeds when the rudder is less effective. I have an extension for the motor control handle to make it easily accessible from the cockpit.
How are airplanes related to robots?
They both use automatic or autonetic devices such as the automatic pilot.
How do you light the pilot light on a heater?
The detailed directions are printed on front of EVERY gas regulator. - However, in general terms, turn regulator switch to OFF for 2 minutes, then to PILOT and depress for one minute, then light pilot or press clicker till it lights. Keep PILOT pressed for 2 more minutes then slowly release it. If it stays on then turn main switch to RUN or ON. -If you have to light the pilot manually, use a barbecue match (12 inches long)
How can you control the use of plastic?
we can control the use of plastics by using paper bags instead of polythene bags, by recycling some plastics and using renewable resources.
How do you use control f5 in c?
The C language itself doesn't know anything about F5 key. Or Control.
How do use cockpit in a sentence?
The cockpit is usually in reach of the pilot and copilot.
What do black boxes do on an airplane?
There are two "black boxes" on modern day aircraft. One is the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) used to record cockpit, intercom, and pilot to controller communications. The other is the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) used to record aircraft flight control inputs, flight parameters (speed, altitude, etc.), and system performance. The primary use for both is in accident investigation. And there actually orange :)
Where is the Battlefleet Megazord cockpit in Power Rangers?
The Battlefleet Megazord cockpit is located in the head of the robot. The Power Rangers use the cockpit to control the motions.
How does a pilot use the pythagorean theorem?
They use it to determine altitude and ground distance.
How does the pilot use the altimeter when flying the Cessna bush plane?
to measure their altitude
What is the use of a smoke goggles in flight?
in case of a cockpit fire, smoke goggle can enable the pilot to safely see until he can land the plane. In the event of a fire, smoke can prohibit the pilot from seeing at all.
What is the purpose black box that is carried by any aircraft?
It is not really black, but still called "black box". It is a flight data recorder.There are two "black boxes" on modern day aircraft. One is the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) used to record cockpit, intercom, and pilot to controller communications. The other is the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) used to record aircraft flight control inputs, flight parameters (speed, altitude, etc.), and system performance. The primary use for both is in accident investigation. This record remains intact even after accidents also.
How does an auto pilot work?
Autopilot or otherwise known as Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) is an integrated system in most advanced airplanes. Autopilots can control from one to three axes of motion. They work by controlling the main control surfaces on a plane, ailerons which control roll along the longitudinal axis, rudder which control yaw along the vertical axis, and elevator which control pitch along the lateral axis. To operate the system, the pilot enters the information, such as altitude and heading, and the system compares this information with sensors on the airplane. If the autopilot senses a discrepancy between the pilot input and the sensors on the airplane, it sends a signal to the servo in charge of moving the control surface in order to correct this discrepancy. For example if the pilot enters into the autopilot an altitude of 10000ft, and the altimeter sensor detects that the altitude is 8000ft the autopilot will send a signal to the servo that controls the elevator, this signal will tell the servo to move the elevator up in order to increase the altitude. This motion of the elevator is the same as if the pilot had pulled back on the yoke to increase altitude.The most common autopilots control the following surfaces.Single axis autopilot - control the aileronsDual axis autopilot - control ailerons and elevatorThree axis autopilot - control ailerons, rudder, and elevator
How do you use the word altitude in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.The plane is losing altitude.Altitude is measured in height above sea level.If the altitude reading is negative, you are going down.
How does a balloon pilot use density to control the altitude of a balloon?
the pilot heats the air stored in the balloon with a large flame the hotter it gets the higher it goes because the heat changes the density to make it go up or down if the pilot decreases the size of the flame the hot air lowers because the smaller flame has less heat giving it a higher volume, but the air stays the same thus making it lower
What does a pilot use to land?
Before setting up for landing pilots follow checklists. The pilot puts the aircraft in a landing configuration. To accomplish this, the throttle is set and the flaps are set to keep the right rate of descent and glide slope all the way down to the runway. On landing configuration It is very normal for pilots to use power to gain or lose altitude and trade altitude for airspeed. Prior to landing the pilot makes one final check to make sure the aircraft is ready to land, specifically the landing gear down. This is all done while listening to air traffic control and following approach plates.
How do you use the word altimeter in a sentence?
Most altimeters use changes in atmospheric pressure to determine altitude. The altimeter is a crucial tool in air traffic control.
