Wanxi's Reflection on The Solo Flight

The stimulator solo flight experience has enforce my learning of certain concepts during the lesson such as the use of rudder, ailerons and elevators. As the game requires us to keep trying the mission till we succeed I have tried multiple times adjusting the 3 controls in order to reach the target spot. With the multiple attempts, I understood the type of control use to adjust (e.g. the pitch, angle and how to move the plane to the right/left) which seems hard to understand and confusing at first.

Summary of the 3 controls I have learnt

1. the Elevator is use to control the pitch [the up and down movement from the screen] 
2. Ailerons roll the aircraft [i.e. in mission3 it requires us to adjust ailerons to put the aircraft in the state where its left wing moves up and the right wing to moves down] 
3. the Rudder controls the yaw which is the side to side movement [i.e. when the target is at the left screen, I will have to adjust the rudder to move it slowly to reach the target spot.]
