The Pitch and Roll category consists of which components?

• A. Roll and Crossroll
• B. Pitch and Yaw
• C. Roll and Pitch
• D. Azimuth and Elevation

Answer: (A)

In this area, attitude changes are described by two rotational motions around the vehicle’s axes. One is roll, which tilts the aircraft left or right around its forward axis. The other is crossroll, a term used here to represent the second tilt component in the pitch-roll context. Together, roll and crossroll capture the two rotational elements tested in the Pitch and Roll category. The other options mix in yaw (rotation about the vertical axis) or pair pitch with another axis in a way that isn’t the focus of this category, or use directional terms that aren’t the rotation components being tested.
