3. Controls movement of the aircraft about its vertical axis.
5. Is a one-piece horizontal stabilizer and elevator that pivots from a central hinge point.
8. Are attached to the Trailing edge of the wing and are used during approach and landing to increase wing lift.
9. Is a similar to the horizontal stabilizer but is located in front of the main wings.

12. How many secondary controls are there?

2. Are attached to the trailing edge of the elevator.

6. is the primary control device for changing the pitch attitude of an airplane, changing the pitch about the lateral axis.
7. Are high drag devices deployed from the wings to reduce lift and increase drag.
10. Control surfaces attached to each wing that move in the opposite direction from one another to control roll about the longitudinal axis.
