In this second tutorial of aircraft basics, flight controls are discussed. This is a new series of videos covering basics and working toward gaining knowledge that would be learned when getting a private pilot license.

The video offers a description of primary and secondary flight controls and the difference between the types of control surfaces.Primary flight controls include ailerons, elevator, and rudder.Secondary flight controls are various types of flaps, trim, and leading edge devices.

Adverse yaw is briefly talked about but will be discussed more in detail in a later video.
