En aviation, les commandes de vol sont les systèmes faisant le lien entre le pilote et les gouvernes aérodynamiques qui permettent de modifier la trajectoire de l'avion. L'ensemble est composé d'organes de pilotage (manche par exemple), d'actionneurs (vérins, hydrauliques ou électriques) pour actionner les gouvernes, et d'un système de transmission plus ou moins sophistiqué entre les organes de pilotage et les actionneurs. [...] On distingue les commandes de vol primaires (profondeur, aileron, direction, aérofrein, vérin de plan horizontal) utilisées pendant tout le vol et les commandes de vols secondaires (becs et volets) utilisées pendant les phases d'atterrissage et de décollage. 2, record 1, French, - commandes%20de%20vol

He [the pilot] must be able to overcome stability, allowing the aircraft to move about one, two or all three of its axes. This is the purpose of the flight controls. Flight controls on aircraft are divided in two categories; primary and secondary controls. The primary controls include the ailerons, elevators and rudder(s). The secondary controls are flaps, slats and slots, trim tabs of any description, dive or speed brakes, spoilers, etc., as required by aircraft design. 2, record 2, English, - flight%20controls
