Ailerons: How Aircraft Roll and Turn | BAK Series
Master Aircraft Roll Control with Ailerons
In this Basic Aeronautical Knowledge lesson, we focus on ailerons — key flight control surfaces responsible for controlling an aircraft’s roll and enabling smooth, coordinated turns.
You’ll learn where the ailerons are located, how they move to roll the aircraft left or right, how roll relates to the longitudinal axis, and why coordinated rudder input is necessary to counteract yaw during turns.
Perfect for student pilots working towards their RPL or PPL, or anyone wanting to build a stronger foundation in flight theory.
