FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

If the control stick of an aircraft with properly rigged flight controls is moved forward and to the right, the left aileron will:

1. move up and the elevator will move up.

2. move down and the rudder will move right.

3. move down and the elevator will move down.

4. move up and the rudder will move left.

The correct answer is: move down and the elevator will move down.

When the control stick of an aircraft is moved forward and to the right, the left aileron will move down. This is because moving the control stick to the right will command the left aileron to move down in order to raise the left wing. As for the elevator, it will move down in response to the forward movement of the control stick, which is intended to lower the nose of the aircraft. So, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D can be ruled out because they do not correctly describe the relationship between the movement of the control stick and the corresponding movements of the left aileron and elevator in this scenario.
