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

And I think it has been.  After reading the information presented, do you seriously still have a question about what role each control plays when turning?  Seriously?  I'm wondering what your true motivation is in persisting in attempting to justify this faulty line of fixed wing aerodynamics.  Are you trying to find some way to "win"?  To me, it isn't about face saving,  it's all about learning and we all win when we all learn. 

 

Just some food.  The things we post on the internet are there pretty much forever.  Just something to think about.

  -----------------------------------------------------

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°.
