Everything You Need To Know About Ailerons

Pilot Institute

These control surfaces dictate the aircraft’s roll, and this allows it to bank smoothly through turns or even recover from turbulence. This shifts the ailerons Center of Gravity (C.G.) The electronic actuation is governed by a flight computer, which is able to move the ailerons very precisely.

Mastering Crosswind Landings (A Step-by-Step Guide)

Pilot Institute

Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. However, the obstacles generate mechanical turbulence, making the air less stable. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. However, check NOTAMs for runway closures.
