A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The Tutor's manual control runs use push-pull rods with mass and aerodynamic balance. A spring interconnect links rudder and aileron functions, while a geared elevator trim tab provides in-flight pitch trim. The aileron and rudder tabs are adjusted on the ground.

The AFM describes push-pull primary-control rods, mass and aerodynamic balancing, and a spring interconnect between rudder and ailerons. The geared elevator trim tab is distinct from the aileron and rudder tabs, which are ground-adjusted.

History & design
From sport aircraft to military training
The Grob G 115 first flew in 1985 as an aerobatic sport aircraft. The RAF’s G 115E Tutor replaced the Bulldog in university and air-experience flying, combining a civilian-maintained fleet with military instruction.

The Tutor name returns
The Central Flying School received Tutors in 1999. Named after the earlier Avro Tutor, the aircraft became part of elementary training and pilot assessment, alongside university and cadet flying. The RAF later moved the elementary training role toward the Grob Prefect.
