Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Answer to Rich's Question




-----------------------------------------------------
Fundamental Question for all Pilots    
What is the primary control surface you use when turning an airplane?
------------------------------------------------------

Over 90% of the time spent turning,
90% of airplanes are turned with angles of bank (AoB) less than 40°.
It's not necessary to get confused by the rare turns,
eg; those with over 70 degree AoB, and those in which the pilot
has a special desire to make the turn as tight as possible.

I think the question is best answered
with a simple common turn at an AoB of 30°.
