- longitudinal axis.
- lateral axis.
- horizontal stabilizer.
Explanation from PART66Online
The elevator controls the aircraft in pitch, which is rotation about the lateral axis (the line running wingtip to wingtip). The longitudinal axis governs roll and is controlled by the ailerons; the horizontal stabilizer is a structure, not an axis.
