What are the controls of a Boeing 747?

Answer 1

There are numerous controls for the 747. If you have no experience behind the cockpit of any aircraft, I suggest you get a flight simulator. Or even better flight lessons.

Anyway, the main controls of a 747 are:

- The Yoke (The object that moves the aircraft, like a steering wheel!)

- Thrust control (When you increase the thrust of the aircraft, the more power vice-versa)

- The gauge panel (Here you can find the speed of the aircraft, the altimeter (height), Engine statistics, and much more!)

- The Radio (The radio is required if you intend to fly anywhere, the ATC *Air Traffic Control* keep you a safe distance from other aircrafts, supply the pilot with the latest weather, and give directions, they also give you emergency help if required in flight such as emergency landings ect.)

- The Landing Gear (Basically the Landing Gear is the retractable wheels underneath aircrafts, you require these to land, taxi and other ground purposes.)

There's many more features but there probably the main ones. There is other main ones such as the Aileron controller's but I don't want to go too detailed.
