[[Ailerons]]  are mounted on the trailing edge of each wing near the wingtips and move in opposite directions. When the pilot moves the [[Aircraft flight control system|aileron control]] to the left, or turns the wheel counter-clockwise, the left aileron goes up and the right aileron goes down. A raised aileron reduces lift on that wing and a lowered one increases lift, so moving the aileron control in this way causes the left wing to drop and the right wing to rise. This causes the aircraft to roll to the left and begin to turn to the left. Centering the control returns the ailerons to the neutral position, maintaining the [[Banked turn#Aviation|bank angle]]. The aircraft will continue to turn until opposite aileron motion returns the bank angle to zero to fly straight.
