PFCS, or Primary Flight Control System, refers to the essential suite of components and mechanisms that control an aircraft's flight dynamics. It includes systems that manage control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders, enabling pilots to steer and stabilize the aircraft during various phases of flight. The PFCS is critical for ensuring safe and responsive handling characteristics, contributing to both the performance and safety of the aircraft.
