Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

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.

OBS

«Axe transversal» et «axe de tangage» désignent le même axe, mais ces termes reflètent respectivement le point de vue mécanicien et le point de vue pilote. Voir aussi la fiche «pitch axis».

OBS

axe transversal : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.
