Right on that chap. That is how I remember it. but...... Doesnt the wing produce more lift because the wing being presented in a more perpendicular way to the airflow effectively increases the angle of attack (I dont have my ATPL books to hand so cant remember the drawings) as well as increasing the speed at which its travelling through the air. Man that book has confused me.

Someone please elaborate on this...

Cheers

Edited to say: GB Man, I know yaw is the precursor to dutch roll,I just ommitted it from my original post, its what happens to the wings when one is presented forward to the airflow that confuses me. And obviously the author of the book that prompeted this thread!
