Pilots use instruments such as altimeters, airspeed indicators, and attitude indicators to measure altitude, airspeed, and aircraft orientation. These instruments help pilots navigate safely through airspace and maintain control of the aircraft during flight.
Transverse thrust is a force generated by asymmetrical engine thrust during flight in aircraft. This can cause the aircraft to yaw or roll, and pilots use control surfaces to counteract this force and maintain control. Transverse thrust is most noticeable during takeoff and landing phases of flight.

Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch
A flight variable is a parameter that can affect the performance and handling of an aircraft during flight. These variables can include factors such as airspeed, altitude, temperature, and weight of the aircraft. Pilots need to constantly monitor and adjust these variables to ensure a safe and efficient flight.
During a launch, air crew members are exposed to g forces of 3 to 3.5 Gs. They do NOT black out, (actually called greying out) and the aircraft is controlled by the flight crew, not by remote control.
Knowing the wind velocity of an airplane is important because it helps pilots make adjustments to their flight path and maintain control of the aircraft. Understanding the wind conditions allows pilots to make more accurate navigation decisions, conserve fuel, and ensure a smooth and safe flight.
Flight services are the information and services to aircraft pilots before, during, and after flights. They are not responsible for giving instructions or clearances or providing separation.
Also called the flight deck, it is where the pilots fly the aircraft... don't ask where it got its name...

Flight Attendants are on board an aircraft firstly for the safety, and secondly for the comfort of all the aircraft occupants (this includes the pilots). They are a requirement of the of the FAA and other Civil Aviation Authorities and their most important function is the evacuation of the aircraft in an emergency situation.
