According to Jeppessen: Private Pilot Manual
There are three axes of flight:
which are the Longitudinal Axis, Lateral And Vertical Axis.
Today my fellow students, professional, recreational pilots, simulator pilots and airline pilots.
I will discuss the three axes of an aircraft during flight.
Lets Start with Longitudinal Axis
Longitudinal Axis in an Airplane occurs during an aircraft banks or in other term it turns which is
produced by the aileron , when you deflect an aileron using the yoke or flight stick, they create an
immediate movement about the longitudinal axis
Second would be the Lateral Axis
Lateral Axis occurs during pitch when pulling the yoke to climb or pushing the yoke to descend
Lastly Vertical Axis
From the word itself, Vertical Axis is the yaw movement of the aircraft when the pilot stepped on to the rudder pedals, step on the left pedal the aircraft yaws to the left and step on the right pedal it yaws to the right.
