RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group RE: A starting point



Not everything in the Wikipedia is correct as ANYONE can add or edit their articles.

No argument Richard.  You are absolutely correct in your dictionary context.  You win.

 

Meanwhile, I'm guessing the rest of the world will continue using it as a name for a maneuver that involves teaching a student to coordinate the rudder with aileron input.  Whether you and wikipedia like it or not.  lol.

Cy,

this definition:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll>
is what I learned in commercial aviation when I designed the software to perform
a 'yaw damper' action.
It has nothing to do with turn coordination and/or 'stepping on the ball'.

Any use of the term 'dutch roll' as a training activity of stepping on the
rudder and/or activating the ailerons is a misnomer.
