Rudder use
Excuse me for being naive...im relatively new to flying, and possess a ppl(sep) licence......would someone please explain why the rudder isn't used in flight in the large passenger jets......i understand that with greater velocity less movement would be required...but it sounds like the rudder shouldn't be used at all........plus.......on x-wind lands.....surely it has to be used to line up the aircraft just before touchdown.........i also understand that it doesn't apply to my 152 (or so i've been taught). Please dont jump down my throat, this is an innocent question. Thanks.
