		After interpreting the helicopter's pitch attitude by reference to the pitch instruments (attitude indicator, altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical-speed indicator), cyclic control adjustments are made to affect the desired pitch attitude with reference to the natural horizon.
		The pitch attitude of a helicopter is the angular relation of its longitudinal axis and the natural horizon.
		In visual flight, you attain the desired pitch attitude by using cyclic to raise and lower the nose of the helicopter in relation to the natural horizon.

	Spin (flight) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A spining aircraft usually has a large positive angle of attack (resulting in the stall) and usually a large nose-down pitch angle.
		A snap roll (or flick roll) is a maneuver related to the spin, and is characterized by a marked pitch change followed by rapid rotation about the roll axis.
		In the United States, spinning requires the use of approved parachutes unless training is being conducted by a flight instructor toward a rating.

	Flight dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flight dynamics is the study of orientation of air and space vehicles and how to control the critical flight parameters, typically named pitch, roll and yaw.
		Pitch is rotation around the lateral or transverse axis.
		This axis is parallel to the wings, thus the nose and tail both pitch up or down.

	Flight and Pitch
		Conveyor screws with pitch equal to screw diameter are considered standard.
		Similar to short pitch, except pitch is reduced to 1/2 standard pitch.
		Flights have increasing pitch and are used in screw feeders to provide uniform with- drawal of fine, free flowing materials over the full length of the inlet opening.

		PITCH: Once the bank is established, the pitch will be raised to an attitude which, when full power is applied (climb power with a constant speedpropeller), will end up giving you an airspeed of 1.2 Vs1 (1.2 times the power-off stall speed in the clean configuration).
		Your pitch reference in the windshield (see VFR Attitute Flying) should scribe a straight line from slightly nose down at the beginning to your maximum pitch attitude at the 90-degree point.
		As you pass through the 45-degree point of the turn, the pitch is smoothly brought back downward so that it passes through the horizon just as the 90-degree point of the turn is passed.

	Flying a helicopter
		For straight flight, the pitch of the tail rotor is set to prevent the helicopter from turning to the right as the main rotor turns to the left.
		To Climb, the angle ot pitch of the blades is increased.
		To descend, the pitch of the blades is decreased.

	Three cue flight director system for helicopters - Patent 4603389
		Also the flight director computer output signals and the pitch cyclic cue and collective pitche cue of the flight director may be supplied to corresponding channels of an auto-pilot system for ultimately positioning a pitch cyclic servomotor and a collective pitch servomotor, if the helicopter is so equipped.
		Also, included is a cyclic pitch command cue 13 for commanding the pilot to move the cyclic pitch stick in an amount to zero the cue 13 relative to the reference 12, all in conventional flight director fashion.
		The system assures that the flight director (and/or autopilot) automatically switches between two-cue and three-cue operation dependent upon the magnitude of path errors or pilot commands and during high speed cruise, collective path control commands are supplied only when a trim correction is required by the cyclic pitch to maintain the desired airspeed.

	Airbus Flight Control Laws
		In pitch alternate law the flight mode is a load factor demand law similar to the Normal Law flight mode, with reduced protections.
		Pitch alternate law degrades to pitch direct law when the landing gear is extended to provide feel for flare and landing, since there is no flare mode when pitch normal law is lost.
		Pitch control is achieved through the horizontal stabilizer by using the manual trim wheel.

	FlightSim.Com How Aircraft Fly and How To Control Them
		Pitching motion is produced by moving the control stick (yoke) fore or aft, which moves the elevators on the horizontal stabilizer.
		The aircraft control surfaces for pitch, roll and yaw, the elevator (or in some cases stabilator), the ailerons and the rudder(s) respectively, have to be large enough to move the aircraft about all three axes according to the design mission of the aircraft, for all its flight regimes.
		The ball is an indicator of slipping, skidding or coordinated flight, or the misuse of the rudders.

		After t=90 seconds the pitch rate (angle-of-attack as a function of time) is kept at zero for five seconds to regain a steady-state, base-first flow.
		The pitch rate function is a sinusoid beginning at zero, reaching a maximum of 3.61 degrees/second at t=45 seconds, and reaching zero again for t>=90 seconds.
		*pitching is defined as rotating about the vehicle's y-axis translated to its center-of-gravity.

	Flight types
		Conveyor screws with pitch spacing equal to the diameter are considered standard and are suitable for most conveyors of conventional horizontal design.
		Flights with pitch progressively increased are used to draw fine, free flowing materials uniformly from the entire length of the feed opening.
		Ribbon flights are excellent for sticky or gummy materials where the gap between the screw and the pipe prevents material build-up.

		The cyclic pitch is held into the wind a sufficient amount to maintain the selected ground track for the takeoff, and the heading is kept straight along the takeoff path using the antitorque pedals (fig.
		As collective pitch is increased, left pedal must be increased to maintain heading, throttle adjusted to maintain RPM, and cyclic pitch coordinated to maintain the proper rate of closure to the desired spot (a continual decrease in groundspeed).
		As collective pitch is lowered, continue to move the cyclic stick toward the slope to maintain a fixed position, and use cyclic as necessary to stop forward or aft movement of the helicopter.

	Collective Pitch and CCPM
		Now that the Swashplate is in its default upper location and pitch is equal to zero degrees on the main blades and the Swashplate is completely parallel to the ground and so are the servo arms, we can finally deal with the positive pitch.
		Watch the pitch gauge and using your pitch adjustment Tx button increase or decrease the pitch for this stick level (25%) until the pitch gauge reports +3 degrees.
		HH Gyros will apply pitch adjustments to the tail pitch to counter react unmanly yawing of the tail (like a regular gyro) plus they will return the tail back to its original position from where the wag originated (i.e.: holds the head).

	Dynamics of Flight
		There are levers and buttons that the pilot can push to change the yaw, pitch and roll of the plane.
		The elevators which are on the tail section are used to control the pitch of the plane.
		The Concorde is an example of this regime of flight.

	A Go-round gets grotty
		During the dive the airspeed increased to 251 kt and the lowest altitude in the recovery was 321 ft radio altitude with a peaked load factor of +3.59 g’s.
		The flight crew were not at the time aware of the fact that the aircraft had been overstressed.
		As the pitch values were outside these limits, the artificial horizon indication became all brown as registered by the Commander when the aircraft descended.

	Setup: Pitch Settings
		Pitch describes the angular movement of the rotor blades in relation to the horizontal plane.
		The amount of pitch on the blades is dictated by the position of the collective stick on your transmitter.
		A pitch curve that enables you to hover nicely is probably not going to let you do inverted flying very well.

	Seat Pitch
		Seat Pitch is the distance between the rows of seats and is measured from the back of one seat to the back of the seat behind, the measurements being taken from the same position on each seat.
		Seat pitch is for most passengers an important part of their comfort because it governs to a large degree how much leg room they have.
		Unless stated otherwise seat pitch is for aircraft flying on international routes, and where the seat pitch is given as between two sizes it is because different types of aircraft in the fleet have a slightly different seat pitch.

	Propellers for Model Aircraft Engines
		Pitch is the distance a propeller will move forward in one revolution in a perfect fluid (which air is not).
		Personally, I think the best propeller should be chosen for flight qualities, not for weight, but if the aircraft is close to being in balance then changing to a propeller of different weight may put the CG on the money.
		Even a variable pitch propeller is not perfect because the blade airfoil and the shape of the blade will be ideal at only one RPM and one pitch.

	IVOPROP In-Flight Adjustable Magnum Propeller
		The ability to change the pitch in flight is as significant for the airplane pilot as for the driver of a car to shift gears in the transmission.

	Fly-By-Wire A Primer for Aviation Accident Investigators
		FBW flight control laws may not be stable for all values of gain or phase angle (the difference between pilot input and airplane response in terms of frequency; exactly opposite would be a 180-degree phase angle) that can be applied.
		Autotrim can be a side-effect of a pitch rate command or g command FBW system, which is called "apparent neutral speed stability" (note: pitching moments due to the thrust changes that would effect the speed change are compensated for without the need for pilot trim inputs as well).
		A flight control surface can be moved at some maximum rate, depending on the actuator's capability to reposition the surface (hardware limit) or on some lower rate limit imposed by the FBW flight control system (software limit).

	AOPA Flight Training - CFI Tips: First things first
		Experienced pilots and instructors are usually so sensitive to disruptions to normal pitch cues that a bad seat position is cause for an immediate search for seat cushions or even an aircraft change.
		The best method to get the same sight picture on each flight is to initially adjust height from the top of the cabin and then fine-tune as required.
		It's important to note that, unlike taildraggers, most tricycle-gear training aircraft (with properly inflated struts) are usually pretty close to a level cruise-flight pitch attitude while stationary in the chocks.

	Pitch and Power Relationship - Flight Instruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		You are aware of the controversy that reigns over the relationship between pitch and power.
		On final to a short runway, such as 30 at Hi-Desert which is only 1600 feet long, pitch controls airspeed and power controls altitude, or the descent profile.
		The angle of attack for different flight regimes should be thoroughly covered in ground school.

	V/STOL: The First Half-Century - Part 2
		In hover, pitch and yaw were controlled by two ducted propellers in the tail; in transition, aerodynamic controls were phased in until the tail propellers were no longer needed in horizontal flight.
		Pitch control was provided by two counter-rotating two-bladed horizontal propellers, which in horizontal flight were stopped and aligned to minimize drag.
		The ninth flight was on 25 July 1959; it was to transition to about 36° from the vertical and then return to hover at 2,000 ft before beginning a vertical descent.

	Flight Director Systems
		The pitch command control pre-sets the desired pitch angle of the aircraft for climb or descent.
		These CRTs electronically display flight information in much the same presentation as electro-mechanical instruments bur they also have the flexibility for selecting additional information to be added to the display and for altering the presentation.
		PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD): The typical PFD is a multicolor CRT or LCD display unit that presents a display of aircraft attitude and flight control system steering commands including VOR, localizer, TACAN, or RNAV deviation; and glideslope or preselected altitude deviation.

	TURNING FLIGHT AND SIDESLIP IN HANG GLIDERS (Summary)
		Pitch inputs while the glider was rolling into a turn did not seem to either decrease or augment the slip caused by the roll input.
		In turning flight, pitch inputs didn't seem have an effect on sideslip or skid, even when the aircraft were dramatically pitched up under a high G-load or were "unloaded" all the way to weightlessness (zero G's).
		In particular I saw very clearly that the pitch and yaw dynamics operated on different timescales (as described in the previous section), and that sideslips produced by adverse yaw and yaw rotational inertia as the bank angle was changing had a minimal effect on the overall drag and sink rate during these radical turning maneuvers.

		As the prop pitch angle is changed to grab more air, more horsepower will be needed to keep the propeller turning at a given rpm (revolutions per minute).
		Prop pitch set at 95% and 2,800 rpm’s is going to move the aircraft faster through the air than 100% and the same 2,800 rpm’s.
		By using manual prop pitch control and throttle input properly you may be able to increase your acceleration rate and or maximum aircraft speed for a given circumstance better than the automated system.
