  1. Huckleberry 58 is right, not wrong.  For example, during crosswind takeoffs and landings the rudder is deflected, but doesn't turn the airplane if enough opposite aileron is used.


  2. SINGLE ENG WILL TURN  TWIN ENG WILL NOT U HAVE TO  COMPESATE WITH THROTTLE ON  TWIN ENG

  3. rudder trim wheel usually at the center console of the cockpit.

  4. hi.

    não falo essa lingua.

    no ablo.

  5. If he doesnt do anything else but push rudder the airplane will eventually turn.

  6. the pilot can put opposite aileron in.

  7. On an aircraft, the rudder is called a "control surface" along with the rudder-like elevator (attached to horizontal tail structure) and ailerons (attached to the wings) that control pitch and roll. The rudder is usually attached to the fin (or vertical stabilizer) which allows the pilot to control yaw in the vertical axis, i.e. change the horizontal direction in which the nose is pointing. The rudder's direction is manipulated with the movement of foot pedals by the pilot.

    To make it simple, the rudder is used to limit adverse yaw and the p-factor. Its controlled by the foot pedals!

    P-factor- The p-factor is caused by the difference in angle of attack between the ascending and descending blades of a rotating propeller blade. Specifically, in a "nose-up" situation where the propeller disc is inclined to the flight path, the descending blade has a higher angle of attack relative to the ascending blade. The propeller blade with the higher angle of attack will provide more force, in this case, measured as thrust. With the descending blade providing more thrust than the ascending blade, the center of thrust is moved away from the center and out towards a parallel point somewhere along the descending blade.

    Hope this helps you

  8. Not quite sure what you mean, but the rudder is moved by foot pedals or small trim adjustments are made with the rudder trim switch.

  9. Not sure I follow along all too well. I assume you mean how does the pilot adjust the rudder trim without the plane rolling (?) this is because the air pressure differences on each side of the tail will cause one side to be pushed back and this is enough force to cause the plane to yaw to the right or left. also because there is are no lateral adjustments made to create lift or down force differences on the rudder.
