Learn How Elevators Control Pitch and Aircraft Attitude

In this Basic Aeronautical Knowledge lesson, we focus on the elevator — a primary flight control surface that directly affects an aircraft’s pitch.
You’ll learn how the elevator works, how pilots use it to control nose-up and nose-down movement, and what secondary effects (like changes in airspeed and RPM) result from elevator inputs.

Whether you're preparing for flight training or enhancing your simulator skills, this clear, practical guide builds your understanding of pitch control and flight dynamics.
