(a) Aeroplane aerodynamics and flight controls Operation and effect of: — roll control: ailerons and spoilers; — pitch control: elevators, stabilators, variable incidence stabilisers and canards; — yaw control, rudder limiters; — elevons, ruddervators; — high-lift devices, slots, slats, flaps, flaperons; — drag-inducing devices, spoilers, lift dumpers, speed brakes; — trim tabs, servo tabs, control surface bias.

(b) Aeroplane: other aerodynamic devices  Operation and effect of: — balance and antibalance (leading) tabs; — spring tabs, mass balance, aerodynamic balance panels; — mass balance, aerodynamic balance panels; — effects of wing fences, saw tooth leading edges; — boundary layer control using vortex generators, stall wedges or leading-edge devices.
