The pitch axis is perpendicular to the aircraft centerline and lies in the plane of the wings. A pitch motion is an up or down movement of the nose of the aircraft... The pitching motion is being caused by the deflection of the elevator of this aircraft. The elevator is a hinged section at the rear of the horizontal stabilizer. There is usually an elevator on each side of the vertical stabilizer. The elevators work in pairs; when the right elevator goes up, the left elevator also goes up. 4, record 1, English, - pitch%20axis

The aircraft can rotate around three axes: the fore-and-aft axis (or the roll axis); the span-wise (nose-up/nose-down) axis or the pitch axis; and the nose-left/nose-right, or yaw axis. 5, record 1, English, - pitch%20axis

La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers. Dans le cas d'une centrale à cardans par exemple : un gyroscope à deux axes sensibles maintient la direction de la verticale vraie et matérialise ainsi la position de la ligne d'horizon par rapport aux axes de roulis et de tangage de l'avion, c'est-à-dire ses assiettes; un gyroscope à un axe sensible est utilisé pour maintenir un cap directionnel ou gyromagnétique. 3, record 1, French, - axe%20de%20tangage

La gouverne de profondeur est un volet mobile situé sur l'arrière de l'empennage horizontal, qui lui-même est placé vers la queue de l'appareil. En modifiant l'angle de la gouverne de profondeur, le pilote modifie la force agissant sur l'empennage horizontal et, grâce à un bras de levier important, cette variation de force fait piquer ou cabrer l'avion autour de l'axe de tangage, axe horizontal passant par le centre de gravité de l'avion. Cette commande permet de régler l'incidence de l'avion. 4, record 1, French, - axe%20de%20tangage
