the _______ yaws the airplane left or right. (5.b.1) *
1 point
elevator
rudder
control columns
yoke

Explanation:

First Sub - Question (Select all that apply for minimizing turbulence dangers)

• Fly at maneuvering speed or slower: Maneuvering speed is a safe speed for handling turbulence as it limits the stress on the aircraft structure.
• Accelerate to move quickly through turbulence: This is incorrect as accelerating can increase stress on the aircraft and make the ride more dangerous in turbulence.
• Reach a higher cruising altitude: Turbulence can be less severe at higher altitudes in some cases, so this is a valid strategy.
• Avoid areas of rough conditions: By avoiding turbulent areas (e.g., using weather radar), the pilot can minimize exposure to danger.
• Avoid turning the airplane in any direction: Turning in turbulence can increase stress, so avoiding turns is a good practice.

• Elevator: Controls the pitch (up - down movement) of the aircraft, not yaw.
• Rudder: The rudder is the control surface that is responsible for yawing the aircraft (left - right movement about the vertical axis).
• Control columns: Are used for pitch and roll control, not yaw.
• Yoke: Is used for roll and pitch control, not yaw.

Answer:

• Fly at maneuvering speed or slower
• Reach a higher cruising altitude
• Avoid areas of rough conditions
• Avoid turning the airplane in any direction
