Hi,

The original French reads: "Le PF exerce une action sur le manche en butée à gauche et à cabrer, qui dure environ 30 secondes
This french stance is very interesting to analyze word by word ....
I will only focus on 3 words "gauche" (left) .. 30 (30) .. and "secondes" (seconds)
So the stick was maintened on a full deflection to the left ... and yet .. the plane will not go in a left turn
Think ... maximum deflection to the left (for 30 seconds .. what a very long time) and the aircraft would not embark on a sharp left turn (or bank angle) ... very strange ..
What can prevent him from taking a left bank angle ?
Remember that it is to counter a bank angle to the right ..
So the force pushing the plane to a bank angle to the right should be very strong !!!
Wat can be this force ? .. what can produce this phenomena ?
