Published 3 months ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The lateral axis runs wingtip-to-wingtip, governing pitch (nose up/down) via the elevators.
- The longitudinal axis runs from the aircraft's nose to its tail, controlling roll (banking) through the ailerons.
- The vertical axis runs from the top to the bottom of the fuselage, managing yaw (nose left/right) with the rudder.
- AFOQT questions test your ability to precisely link the correct axis, movement, and control surface together.
- A common exam trap is confusing the side-to-side nose movement of yaw with the banking motion of a roll.
