What are the major flight controls?
Usually called Primary Flight Controls. They are: Elevator, Rudder and Aileron. A few aircraft's use Spoilers as the only mean of lateral control. These spoilers would be primary flight controls on these planes. All other flight controls are called secondary. Slats, flaps, stabilizer, spoilers, speed brakes etc...
What is a flight cockpit?
Its the area of a aircraft that has the controls and operational systems to fly the craft

Does an airplane have a horn?
Some aircraft do have a counter-weight on their flight controls that are referred to as a "horn".
How does aircraft flight controls act when they are rigged tight?
They act instantly and positively when rigged tight.
What are the four main components that most aircraft have?

How is the First Airplane like airplanes now?

What is the area usually near the front of an aircraft from where a pilot controls the aircraft called?
The cockpit is where the pilot controls the aircraft.
How does an airplane's design allow flight?
Aircraft consist of a few major sections, the Wings, Empennage, Flight Controls and Fuselage. As the speed of the aircraft increases winds travel under the wings at a faster speed then going over the wing causing Lift. As long as there is enough lift it causes the Aircraft to fly.
What was the previous flight status of the aircraft?
The previous flight status of the aircraft was delayed.
Is flight deck an aircraft carrier?
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
What is a flight engineer?
In aviation, a flight engineer is a member of the aircrew of an aircraft who is responsible for checking the aircraft before and after each flight, and for monitoring and operating aircraft systems during flight. The flight engineer usually has a background in aircraft maintenance and may reasonably be described as the "technical expert" member of the operating crew.
