Tabs are small secondary flight control surfaces set into the trailing edges of the primary surfaces. They are used for trimming the aircraft for straight and level flight at cruising speeds or for providing an assist for the pilot in moving the control surfaces. In the first case they are called trim tabs and in the second case, control or servo tabs. 3, record 3, English, - tab

A fixed trim tab is one that can be adjusted on the ground but cannot be adjusted in flight. This type of tab is usually a sheet-metal plate attached to the rear of the control surface and extending to the rear of the trailing edge. If the pilot reports that the airplane will not fly straight and level at cruising speed, the appropriate tab is adjusted on the ground by bending a rudder tab to the right or left, and bending the aileron and elevator tabs up or down, depending upon the correction required. 2, record 4, English, - fixed%20trim%20tab

The multiplace airplane is used chiefly in an administrative role. It is normally found in the headquarters of units above the regimental level. Its missions require flights over greater distances than those required of the tactical two-place airplane. Generally, it operates between improved airfields; however, it is capable of operating on relatively smooth, unimproved soil fields. In keeping with these operating conditions, its cruising speed, range, and payload are increased, but at some sacrifice of visibility, ability to fly at slow speeds, and ability to land or take off in short distances. For ease of maintenance, its construction is kept as simple as possible. 4, record 5, English, - multiplace%20aeroplane
