This index appears in blue, instead of in yellow, and is referred to as the beta target. If the rudder pedal is pressed to center the beta target index, the PF will fly with the residual slip,as required by the engine-out condition. Therefore, the aircraft will fly at a constant heading with ailerons and spoilers close to neutral position.
My question is what creates the rolling moment due to the side slip angle (beta)? Is it because of the 'dihedral effect' or because of the neutral lateral stability?
