Rudder in Stalls and Banks
Student pilot... only a couple hours in dual..
I understand the torque effect on a single engine plane.. Basically, applying a bit of right rudder to compensate... When performing a bank, is the norm to apply slight rudder in the same direction?.. (Left 30 degree bank with left rudder).. Also, as the instructor was demonstrating a 'power loss' stall, he reduced trottle, pitched back and put the plane in a stall as the speed decreased..the nose dropped and he applied throttle, reduced pitch and the plane recovered smooth and level... I tried the same, and as the nose dropped the left wing dropped 'fast', and he applied full right rudder to correct for me.. So, I concluded that during banks.. I intially apply the same direction in rudder.. (unless the turn indicator shows 'slip'..then I apply the same rudder as the ball indicates... But, when I want to correct the plane (as when the wing drops) I apply rudder in the direction that I want the plane to go..
i.e., If the left wing drops, I apply right rudder... (the slower the speed, the greater the rudder amount...)... Please correct if I am wrong... Best to learn it right FIRST...
Thanks,
Dull Prop...
