AirRabbit is quite correct - I was trying to 'KISS'
. I was not trying to suggest that no turn into wind was required - it is obvious it must be, since the a/c was initially pointing along the centreline while on the runway (on a good day) and using
its 'yawed' angle into wind was to indicate the final result when airborne
.
In real life, by the time the un-cordinated BOAC has returned his controls to neutral I generally find that even without "
the proper facial expression and proper number of toes and fingers crossed" (apart from the steely blue narrowed eyes, of course) the a/c heading is such that I finish up tracking the required track like a god..................I have never quite worked out how it happens, it just seems to work? I guess it stems from the removal of the right rudder slightly ahead of the left aileron as 'AFM' is probably suggesting - but I am frightened to analyse it more. I cannot see AFM's second para, however.
Anyway - way off topic now!
