tailplane
- Definição1
- [1] More or less horizontal aerofoil at tail of aerodyne (invariably fixed-wing) providing stability in pitch; fixed or adjustable only for trim, and carrying elevators (US = stabilizer). [2] Aerofoil pivoted at tail about horizontal axis and driven directly by pilot of fixed-wing aerodyne or rotorcraft as primary flight control in pitch in translational flight; forms complete surface without separate elevators (US = stabilizer).

- Contexto
- 4.8.3 The setting in the cockpit and the position of the variable tailplane, or the trim tabs, if appropriate, should be checked against the setting and position appropriate to the calculated weight and balance of the aircraft at the moment of the accident. Variations from predicted setting may indicate a weight and balance shift not normally encountered.
