Flight Controls is the system that moves the aircraft through its control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, rudder) and the related mechanisms and actuators. In ATA documentation, tasks related to these components—inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting—are grouped under the chapter titled Flight Controls, which is numbered 27. The other chapters cover different areas: Lights is for exterior and interior lighting (ATA 33), Navigation covers instruments and navigation systems (ATA 34), and Equipment / Furnishings deals with non-flight components (ATA 25). So the chapter that addresses Flight Controls is ATA 27.
