Elevator
Like the ailerons on a small aircraft, the elevator is connected to the control column in the flight deck by a series of mechanical linkages. Aft movement of the control column deflects the training edge of the elevator surface up.
Elevator: A control surface on fixed-wing aircraft, usually mounted on the aft edge of stabilizers, which controls pitch, and is controlled by the yoke.
Emotional Distress: Mental anguish.
A simple mechanical cable operated system as you will find on aircraft such as the Cessna C152. The cables in some aircraft are replaced by rods. The control column can be moved by raising and lowering the elevator ...
Elevator
The elevator is used on an aeroplane to control the pitch. Applying up-elevator will generate lift on the underside of the tailplane surface causing the tailplane to move downwards.

The variation of stick force with an initially trimmed tab setting is proportional to the maneuver margin stick free.
Elevator A control surface for controlling pitch. Typically, it is located in the horizontal tail. The control is operated by use of the yoke. Pushing the yoke forward produces down pitch, and pulling back produces up pitch.
Elevator - A horizontal, movable control surface on the tail of an airplane that changes its pitch and therefore, angle of attack.
Empennage - An aircraft's tail group including the rudder, vertical fin, stabilizers and elevators.
ELEVATOR An aircraft control surface hinged to the rear of the left and right horizontal stabilizer of the aircraft tail. Changes the aircraft pitch attitude nose-up or nose-down, as during climb or descent.
Elevator Pitch control. Causes the model to raise or lower its nose, resulting in a climbing or diving response. Moving the elevator down causes the tail to rise, pushing the nose down and causing the model to dive.
ELEVATOR - The movable part of a horizontal airfoil which controls the pitch of an aircraft; the fixed part being the STABILIZER.
Elevator. Control surface hinged to the trailing edge of the tailplane to provide longitudinal control. By raising the elevators the tail is depressed and the nose raised, and vice versa.
Elevator
A control surface, usually on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer, which is used to control the pitch attitude of an aircraft. Movement of the elevator will force the nose of an aircraft up or down.
Elevator is essentially your airspeed control. A high elevator setting (elevator way up) will result in a slow airplane.
Elevators:
The elevators control the movement of the airplane about its lateral axis. This motion is pitch. The elevators form the rear part of the horizontal tail assembly and are free to swing up and down.
elevators - Control surfaces on the horizontal part of the tail that are used to make the airplane pitch. Pulling back on the control stick will raise the elevators. This causes the aircraft to pitch and increase the angle of attack.
ELEVATOR - Movable control surface, attached to the trailing-edge of an aircraft's tailplane (stabilizer) to controll pitching movements.
ELEVONS - Movable control surfaces which act collectively as elevators, but differentially as ailerons.

Hold the elevator control in the "Full Climb" position as you apply power for takeoff. If the plane does not start rolling as you apply power, reduce power and then blip the throttle to start it rolling.
As we climbed, elevator-like, into the indigo blue of dawn in Afton, we both noticed the incredible view.
If you have an elevator which is constructed out of two halves, make sure they are still firmly attached. Grab them both and move them in opposite direction, no movement at the bolts is allowed. Check this regularly.
Elevator - A small control surface hinged to the rear of the horizontal stabilizer and used to tilt an airplane up or down.

Elevator or Flap; Flippers.-A hinged horizontal surface for controlling the airplane up and down, usually attached
to the fixed tail plane; for pitching the machine or "nosing up" and "nosing down."
13. Tail or "Empennages.
In a synchropter like the K-Max, the collective is mechanically linked to the moving elevators on the tail boom. Up collective results in the elevator leading edge to move up.
" This was when he realized that I took off with the elevator trim in a full up position. "You are out of trim," he said to me, "Just trim it and continue to climb.
In addition, the T-tail delivers reduced elevator control response at low airspeeds — and this is actually reflected in the accident reports to a larger degree than stall/spin issues.
The solution usually adopted is to provide large elevator and/or elevon (combined elevator and aileron) surfaces on the wing trailing edge. These must generate large control forces, as their distance from the aerodynamic center is small.
" The elevator is designed to provide a certain "funnel effect" when deflected - see figure 3. The Zenair STOL CH-701 horizontal tail has a negative maximum lift coefficient of 2.8 when the elevator is deflected 40 degrees.
The structure and function are comparable to the other control surfaces-ailerons, rudder, and elevator. The split flap is more complex.
Elevators Elevators are control surfaces connected to the horizontal stabilizer and are used to pitch the aircraft.
Stabilators Stabilators are control surfaces which provide both horizontal stability and pitch control for the aircraft.
In 1876, Penaud patented a design for a large amphibious aircraft with such innovative features as retractable wheels, a glass-enclosed cockpit, a single-lever control for both the rudders and the elevators (the first "joy stick"), ...
Check for free movement and security of elevator and rudder. Ensure balance weights are secure.
Check antennae.
Inspect right flap. Check sliders and security of flap, there should be only slight movement possible.
Experience has shown these landing gear systems to be well-suited for grass field operation, while being appropriate for low-time pilots. (Nosewheel system wear is minimized by reducing the pressure on the nosegear by using the appropriate elevator ...
A horizontal stabilizer that can be pitched to trim the elevator. This surface movement can minimize the local angle of attack, so this form of tail surface is considered to be less susceptible to tail stall than a standard horizontal stabilizer.
In particular, if your airplane is loaded so that its center of mass is right at the forward edge of the weight and balance envelope, you may be unable to deflect the elevator enough to cause a stall using the procedure described above.
It simply produced lift, and aircraft control was by the normal rudder and elevator controls. The rotor was unpowered, and simply spun like a pinwheel due to the relative wind blowing through the rotor system. This is called autorotation.
The small wings at the rear of an aircraft's fuselage that balance the lift forces generated by the main wings farther forward on the fuselage. The stabilizer also usually contains the elevator.

As was common for the time, the rudder and elevator were controlled by wires that were strung along the external surface of the aircraft.
