If ailerons affect the longitudinal axis of the plane, then how do they turn the plane? Ailerons control the roll of the plane by turning around its longitudinal axis. Mostly affects runways found next to bodies of water. Under VFR, the MEF guarantees 100’ obstacle/terrain clearance within that quadrant.

Instead, I flew at least 10 approaches to about 6 inches over the runway, but I was not allowed to actually land the airplane. The goal was complete directional control, keeping the longitudinal axis of the airplane perfectly aligned with the centerline of the runway. Learning IFR holds.

The FAA defines this as, “The speed at which the pilot makes a control input, with the intention of lifting the airplane out of contact with the runway or water surface.” This when the plane begins to rotate along its longitudinal axis. But what if during takeoff, you wanted to avoid a tree line at the end of the runway?

They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis. Both forces complement each other, and the net torque about the longitudinal axis makes the aircraft roll. It offers pitch control, meaning the aircraft pivots about the lateral axis. This lets you lose altitude rapidly without speeding up.

When the wind is blowing across the runway instead of along it, things get more challenging. However, the wind rarely aligns perfectly with the runway. Touching down with the aircraft’s longitudinal axis aligned with the runway. If the pilot makes no corrections, the aircraft gets blown off the runway centerline.

On January 2, 2024, a Japan Airlines (JAL) Airbus A350-900 operating a flight from Sapporo to Tokyo collided with a Japan Coast Guard DHC-8-300 on the runway at Tokyo-Haneda Airport (HND). The Fokker 50 went off the runway and subsequently collided with a house. By this point, the DHC-8 was already alight from the initial impact.
