the control column is what the pilot does to move it left, right up and down, but the airplane itself moves either the ailerons on both wings or the rudder on the vertical stabilizer (the thing that sticks up at the back of the plane) when a pilot turns left with the ailerons, the right wing ailerons move down, improving airflow and lift, lifting the wing up, while the left wing ailerons move up, spoiling airflow and lift, therefore, as the right side goes higher, and the left side goes lower, the airplane turns left. for the rudder, it simply swings left or right, creating drag on either side.

Who operates a airplane?
A flight crew, usually comprised of the pilot in the left seat, and the co-pilot or first officer on the right.
Where is the pilot?
The pilot sits on the left front seat of the airplane.
Where does a pilot sit in the airplane?
in the cockpit
Does a pilot sit on the left or right?
Usually on the right.
Why is the senior pilot always on the left?
It is just like in a car, where the driver is on the left and the passenger (in this occasion co pilot) is on the right.
What are ailerons on a airplane?
They are located at the back of the main wings of the aircraft when the pilot wants to bank to the right the left aileron tilts down and the right wing aileron tilts up. The air passing the ing is the forced down on the left side lifting the wing up and banking the plane to the right - the opposite occures for left bank (turn)
If the pilot moves the rudder to the left what will the airplane's tail do?
Applying left rudder turns the vertical stabilizer (tab) to the left, pushing the tail to the right and thereby the nose to the left (left turn). The primary role of the rudder is to reduce adverse yaw and thereby improve performance in banking turns and climbs.
What does banking mean in the context of aviation?
Banking in an aircraft is the act of "rolling" the aircraft. The pilot does so by rotating his yoke to the left or to the right. Two ailerons on the near tip of each wing enable the airplane to bank.
How do you get an airplane on Vice?
the code is R1-R2-O-O-O-L1-L2-R2-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT.
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 do ailerons make an airplane do?
Ailerons allow the airplane to make barrels rolls. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is up, then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the left. If the left aileron is down, and the right aileron is down then the plane will do a barrel roll towards the right.
