Everything You Need To Know About Ailerons

Pilot Institute

FEBRUARY 20, 2025

Key Takeaways Ailerons control the aircrafts roll by adjusting lift on each wing. The aircrafts wing is able to generate lift due to its shape. The more the wings shape is able to change the direction of the flow of air over the surface, the more lift it will produce. Why does this increase the lift? How Do Ailerons Work?

Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. A bounce or skip is likely if the aircraft lands while the wing is generating significant lift.
