secondary flight controls
In addition to primary flight controls, most airplanes have another group called secondary controls. These include trim devices of various types and wing flaps.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Dual flight controls are provided as standard equipment. A cable system provides actuation of the control surfaces when the flight controls are moved in their respective directions.
Flight Controls: Controls placed in a cockpit, which are used specifically for flying an aircraft. The primary flight controls are the wheel, yoke, cyclic, pedals, throttle, and collective.

Flight controls and trim devices
The chord line is defined as the imaginary line that connects the leading edge with the trailing edge. The angle of attack is the angle between the direction of the airflow and chord line.

Aileron buzz is a very rapid oscillation of an aileron, at certain critical air speeds of some aircraft, which does not usually reach large magnitudes nor become dangerous.
The three primary flight controls are the ailerons, elevator and rudder.
Move mouse over the flight controls to see text below.

Mechanical Components This section has pictures and descriptions of different components of helicopters such as instrument panels, flight controls, and rotor systems.
These are used to lock the flight controls and prevent them from banging against the internal stops and thus damaging the system. If there is no internal control lock then use an external one.
TFR - Terrain Following Radar - a radar fitted to an aircraft that interfaces with the flight controls to keep it at a pre-determined height above the ground for low-level high-speed flight, i.e. Tornado, F-111, F-15E ...
In this instance, if your friend elects to act as the legal PIC as well as be the sole manipulator of the flight controls, then he alone logs the flight time as PIC while you log the time as second in command (SIC).
An automated system for controlling the primary flight controls, often with built-in functions for guidance and flight director, and sometimes radio navigation; many flight control systems include basic instruments similar to a AHRS; ...
After climbing to a safe altitude of at least 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL) and making clearing turns to check for any nearby airborne traffic, I'll get on the flight controls with the student.
A flight control system whereby instead of mechanical links (cables and pulleys) from the cockpit to the aircraft's flight controls, wires carry electronic signals. These electric/electronic signals allow a pilot to "fly by wire".
Both cockpits in the tandem seating configuration have full flight controls. The front panel features a full instrument panel for the pilot, and the rear panel is equipped for limited passenger operation.
PRIMARY FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM(PFCS)
The most basic part of the flight controls operated by a pilot, including wheel (fixed wing), yoke (fixed wing), cyclic (rotary wing), pedals (fixed w...
The system was designed to help reduce pilot workload and the need for pilots to remove their hands from the flight controls during critical phases of flight.
SPIN An aerodynamic condition in which the wings have lost lift and the aircraft follows a descending corkscrew flight pattern in autorotation. Aircraft must be stalled for a spin to occur; this is usually the result of "crossed" flight controls ...
of the airplane and its probable actions in the immediate future, with regard to attitude and speed variations, by the sensing and evaluation of varying pressures and resistance of the control surfaces transmitted through the cockpit flight controls.
