I would have thought the observed* turn of about 180 was not commensurate with some of the simpler theories. I've not noticed much comment about this.


The NASA video begs the question as to whether there is a case for trimming a T-tailed aircraft differently when expecting icing conditions. Has anyone ever followed such a practice?
