To increase or decrease a/c airspeed.

Driving has only 1 axis- The vertical axis whereby the car turns to the left or right.

An aircraft in flight has 3 axis.

Vertical-Yaw.
Longitudinal-Roll
Lateral-Pitch

I have to learn to understand airspeed, vertical speed, nose up, nose down, cruise.

If I pull the control column (aircraft steering wheel) back towards myself,
a/c nose goes up
a/c starts to ascend
a/c airspeed decreases

So to increase airspeed, you push the control column. The a/c nose down.

Understood?
