8-1. FLIGHT CONTROLS
Pedals
The pedals control the simulated aircraft’s rudder and thus its yaw (movement about the vertical
axis) when the aircraft is in the air. On ground the pedals control nose wheel steering.
The wheel brakes are activated by pressing the upper part of the pedal with one’s toes.
