Master How the Rudder Controls Aircraft Direction and Balance

In this Basic Aeronautical Knowledge lesson, we focus on the rudder — the flight control surface responsible for managing an aircraft’s yaw around the normal (vertical) axis.
You’ll learn where the rudder is located, how it moves the nose left or right, and why correct rudder input is essential for smooth, coordinated flight — particularly during taxiing, take-off, crosswind landings, and engine-out scenarios.

Perfect for student pilots preparing for their RPL or PPL, or aviation enthusiasts building a strong understanding of flight control basics.
