How to fly at centerline when piloting a small plane

This episode discusses the four causal aerodynamic factors leading to the overall left turning tendency that an aircraft experiences during flight. Join Scott Ludwig and Seth Hardley as they teach about Torque Effect, Spiraling Slipstream, Gyroscopic Precession and P-Factor and how these principles will affect your aircraft on your next training flight. During the takeoff roll, remember to maintain centerline at all times and don’t get lazy feet. More information on left turning tendencies can be found in the FAA’s Airplane Flying Handbook and Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge in chapter 3.
