Aircraft Yaw...
Hello,
Recently I had the chance to have an hours flight in a Cessna 172. Whilst doing the usual routine i.e use of the controls surface, what effect they have on the aircraft path etc, I found myself wondering why the instructor was using backforce on the yoke whilst I was applying rudder.
My question is why? Why did he use backforce. Obviously I assumed that whilst using rudder (no other control surfaces) the nose would drop, Why does it do this? If that is indeed what is does, it must! I did ask him, but his reply was "We haven't got enough time to explain" hmm...
Well I am sure you great guys will be able to help me...
Regards,
Matthew
