There are three axes of motion on an aircraft, they are the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical. The lateral axis is from wing tip to wing tip and it is responsible for pitch. The longitudinal axis is from nose to tail and it is responsible for roll. The vertical axis goes straight down from the top to bottom and it is responsible for yaw. The elevator controls pitch along the lateral axis, the rudders control yaw along the vertical axis, and the ailerons control roll along the longitudinal axis.

What controls the 3 basic movements of an airplane?

The three basic movements of an airplane (pitch, roll, and yaw) are controlled by the elevator, ailerons, and rudder respectively. The elevator controls the pitch by moving the nose of the aircraft up and down, the ailerons control the roll by tilting the aircraft from side to side, and the rudder controls the yaw by moving the aircraft left and right.
