Page 31 - What causes Dutch roll?
...a marked bank occurs to the point where the outer, upward-moving wing stalls and loses all lift, and therefore the wing drops, causing a yaw to the stalled wing and thus leading to the sequence being repeated in the opposite direction.
Im not sure about this one, but would the upward-moving wing generally stall?
yep the upward-moving wing stalls and when it does it drops while the other wing hasn't stalled, till the point the unstalled wing is now higher and going into a stall itself, the origianlly stalled wing is now low enough hence its repeating it self again
is the way to fix it by using rudder pedals for secondary affects? since the ailerons are ineffective in any stall situations?
Page 13 - How is the pitching moment of the lift-weight couple balanced?
"Lift forward of weight has a nose-up pitching moment, which is counterbalanced by the downward deflection of the horizontal tailplane, which creates a nose-down counterpitch. Therefore, lift aft of weight requires the opposite balance."
Other way around, no?
i think its trying to say lift thats foward of the center of weight, that would have a nose-up pitching tendency so its correct saying a downward deflcection of the tailplane would counterpitch
Page 60 - How does a crosswind affect the critical engine?
A crosswind, depending on its direction, can either help to restore or aggravate the yawing moment of an aircraft with a failed critical engine. For instance, a failed critical number 1 engine will cause a yaw to the left. A crosswind component from the left will apply a restoring force to the aircraft’s fuselage, whereas a crosswind from the right will aggravate the yawing moment further to the left due to the sideways force experienced on the right side of the aircraft’s fuselage (which is from the right to the left). Therefore, a crosswind landing is of even greater importance with a critical engine failure.
Other way around again, no?
i don't see much problem in that, using the crosswind to balance the yaw created by the critical engine seems logical thing to do, but i would've through upon reaching glide slope you'll just shut down the remaining engine(s) for a glide approach
sometimes these questions gets confusing, especially if you do too much in the one day
have some rest, and read it again, if it still doesn't make sense read another book to confirm or find info on the issue online
edited, couldn't spell "lift" properly, had "life" lol
