PARTS OF AN AIRPLANE Click on this box and edit text to  add pilot or teacher name
General Aviation planes vary in size and shape  but the basic parts remain the same.   Cirrus SR20 Piper Seneca Eclipse 500 Aviat Pitts S2C Gulfstream Business Jet   Cessna Caravan
Airplanes have  wings  that generate lift.  High-wing Low-wing
The body of an airplane is called the  fuselage .
Most General Aviation airplanes have one piston engine that drives a  propeller .
The  engine cowl  covers the engine compartment.
Typical airplanes have three wheels as part of the landing gear. Above: Tricycle gear, like a bike, has a third wheel in the front. Below: Taildraggers have their third wheel in the back.
Fuel tanks  are usually located inside the wings.
Airplanes have  windshields  just like a car. Light airplanes don’t need wipers as the propeller blast clears rain away.
Airplane  doors  vary from model to model.  Canopy
Pilot and passengers sit in the  cockpit .  Most light airplanes have two, four, or six seats.
Ailerons   on the rear edge of the wings tilt the wings  for a turn or “bank.” Left turn Left turn Left turn Right turn
The  elevator  (on horizontal stabilizer) moves up  (or down) to force the nose of the airplane up (or down.)
The  rudder  (on the vertical stabilizer) moves the airplane’s nose left or right, helping it turn. Push left rudder pedal and the  plane turns left Push right rudder pedal and the plane turns right
Flaps  on the wings change the shape of the wing to provide more lift and drag. This allows the airplane to fly slower.  Flaps down

Editor's Notes

  1. Change Cirrus photo to Beach A-36 from original previous slide
  2. CHG INSET PHOTO SHOW EXPOSED ENGINE (WITH COWL OFF)
  3. Top left photo: DELETE CHAIN Bottom left photo: label: /Canopy/ Title: /canopy/ in red (like /doors/)
  4. TITLE: /cockpit/ in red
  5. 1. 2. TOP LEFT kicker above new top main photo: / For a Left turn:/ 3. Need tail-on shot with R aileron DN and left aileron UP 4. Reverse bottom photos 5. Label new L bottom photo /Left Aileron UP/ 6. Label new R bottom photo /Right Aileron DOWN/
  6. 1. ADD: new top photo: Full length of airplane with UP elevator. Add UP arrow at nose of plane 2. Fix red paren in TITLE 3. BOTTOM PHOTO: Point arrow to elevator, not trim tab!
  7. Fix red paren in TITLE 2. ADD two overhead photos Left/Right LEFT: Left rudder deflection, left arrow at nose RIGHT: Right rudder deflection, right arrow at nose
