I cannot seem to stop myself putting aileron input in when recovering. Believe me I know I shouldn't be. I've seen what happens when I do. I think I almost span it once because I was stupid.
I just can't seem to physically stop myself yanking the yoke around.
My instructor thinks that i just need practice.
Hi Localflighteast.
I think your instructor is probably right.
Although you clearly understand that it's reducing the angle of attack (moving the control column forward) that stops the wing dropping, subconsciously you still react to a wing drop with opposite aileron.
Only repetition will train your brain to stop doing this.
Be assured that you are not being 'stupid', nor are you by any means the only one to find this difficult, but I've never taught anyone yet who didn't 'get it' eventually.
