La gouverne de profondeur agit sur le mouvement de tangage autour de l’axe transversal. Ainsi, un déplacement du manche vers l’arrière élève la gouverne de profondeur, ce qui provoque un cabrage de l’avion (soulèvement de son nez). En revanche, une poussée du manche vers l’avant produit l’effet inverse, faisant piquer l’appareil. 3, record 1, French, - axe%20transversal
