Every drone pilot knows the sticks—but do you really know the science behind what they’re telling your aircraft to do? In S2E99 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down Section 7.2.1: Pitch, Roll, and Yaw, giving you the aerodynamic fundamentals that make precise control possible.

In this episode:
🎮 Pitch, roll, and yaw defined – the three axes of motion that govern every RPAS maneuver
🛩 Control inputs explained – how stick movement translates into aircraft response
⚖️ Center of gravity and stability – why balance affects your ability to control each axis
🌬 External influences – how wind, turbulence, and load affect maneuverability
🎯 Exam essentials – what Transport Canada expects you to know about flight dynamics
💡 Pro tips – smoother transitions, tighter control, and practicing maneuvers for real-world missions

Pitch, roll, and yaw aren’t just theory—they’re the building blocks of flight mastery. Understand them, and you’ll fly with the precision and confidence of an expert RPAS operator.
