- Chapter 16: Navigation › Effect of Wind
aircraft heading coincides with the TC and the wind is blowing from the left, the track does not coincide with the TC. The wind causes the aircraft to drift to the right, so the track falls to the right ... aircraft coincide with the desired course. If the mass of air is moving across the course from the left, the aircraft drifts to the right, and a correction must be made by heading the aircraft sufficiently to the left…

First, adjust the power to the maximum controllable level on both engines. Because the left engine is the only engine delivering thrust, the yaw increases to the right, which necessitates application of additional left rudder application. Figure ... engine and adjust power to maintain descent angle to a landing. However, in this case the pilot feathered the left engine because he assumed the engine failure was a left engine failure. During twin-engine training, the left engine…

dispatcher, Everyman neglected to complete the fuel cross-feed check before taking off. Everyman, who was flying solo, left the right-fuel selector in the cross-feed position. Once aloft and cruising, he noticed a right roll tendency and corrected ... with aileron trim. He did not realize that both engines were feeding off the left wing’s tank, making the wing lighter. After two hours of flight, the right engine quit when Everyman was flying along a deep canyon gorge…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures
during climbs and descents in flight conditions that permit visual detection of other traffic, pilots should execute gentle banks left and right at a frequency that permits continuous visual scanning of the airspace. • Straight and level—during sustained periods ... practice maneuver. During instruction, the pilot should be asked to verbalize the clearing procedures (call out “clear left, right, above, and below”). Figure 14-47. Vortex avoidance procedures. High-wing and low-wing aircraft have their respective blind spots…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Basic Propeller Principles › Torque Reaction
during the takeoff roll, an additional turning moment around the vertical axis is induced by torque reaction. As the left side of the aircraft is being forced down by torque reaction, more weight is being placed on the left main ... landing gear. This results in more ground friction, or drag, on the left tire than on the right, causing a further turning moment to the left. The magnitude of this moment is dependent on many variables. Some of these variables…
