Join Master CFI Jim Alsip in another episode of Hangar Talk, a video series that promotes airmanship, the use of stick and rudder. To that end there are only two things to master: don’t stall and control yaw. In this video, Jim talks about controlling adverse yaw; explaining how the horizontal component of lift turns an airplane when the wings are banked, and that the use of ailerons to create the bank causes adverse yaw. This video shows you what adverse yaw looks like, and explains how to control that yaw with rudder.
