The Horizontal Stabilizer and the cockpit.


In the most interested thing I would learn and still learn on myself, Is all about aviation topics from ground to sky to mechanic and so on. So I think I will talk about horizontal stabilizer for today.

The horizontal stabilizer or the same as an elevator is a part of the plane at the tail. It is use for controlling the aircraft's pitch, and the angle of attack. This photo in here is an Elevator of the A319.

The stabilizer is a fixed wing section whose job is to provide stability for the aircraft to keep it flying straight. The horizontal stabilizer prevents up-and-down, or pitching, motion of the aircraft nose. The elevator is the small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that is attached to the fixed sections by hinges. Because the elevator moves, it varies the amount of force generated by the tail surface and is used to generate and control the pitching motion of the aircraft. There is an elevator attached to each side of the fuselage. The elevators work in pairs when the right elevator goes up, the left elevator also goes up. This slide shows what happens when the pilot deflects the elevator.




There are so many things we can even talk about this part, but I think I will talk abit on the other part, for example the cockpit, where If people don’t know what they are for, people will say that there are to many buttons but in fact, I can say that, It is not that complicated at all, It is all categorize in to set. For example the overhead where there are over 30 to 40 buttons, They are in group for example the light will be in one set, The fuel control is in another set, and plus these day plane are so advance that they can fly by them self or as we normally call them auto pilot. Even the speeder or what the aviation people will call as a throttle, next to it is a flight computer manage, that is what they use to make route for each time they fly which is not hard to set at all even I do know how to set already at this young age. If you guys want to know more about aviation you guys can leave a comment and I will try answer all the question you want!
