Left Turning Tendencies (Private Pilot Ground Lesson 13)

[@phoonjzc]

so many things to remember.

[@kenrobba5831]

Remember “step on the gas ⛽️”. Right (GAS) pedal to hold the heading.

[@samueljones7495]

I've got my first stage check soon and this is very helpful in helping me prepare. Thank you.

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome

[@808_murda2]

For me I say the asymmetrical prop load, spiraling slipstream instead of pfactor and corkscrew effect but thanks for these videos! Got my solo coming up and I'm recapping everything

[@FreePilotTraining]

I like that! Thanks!

[@GLJ94]

I had come to this assumption by playing the WWII game Enlisted. The prop driven fighter craft in it have a torqe effect that pulls left on older planes and some of the better planes like the P51 have mitigation. I finally realized why the game craft kept pulling to the left when it dawned on me the torqe of the propeller would cause the body to rotate opposite of the prop. Love the games realism aspects

[@FreePilotTraining]

It’s amazing how those video game creators do that

[@wk5788]

I really like your videos . But personally adding music to the video is quite distracting. I hope you consider getting back to how they were. Regards

[@FreePilotTraining]

Agreed. I don’t use music anymore except the beginning and end

[@wk5788]

Thank you

Great Video! But I have a question about torque. According to Newton's 3rd law, every action has 'EQUAL' and opposite direction reaction. Then re-action can compensates action, (action moves to right, and re-action moves to left) so sum of work can be '0'. How can still torque effects to airplane?

[@insertnamehere6659]

Question, could a double engine plane offset most of this by having one engine rotate left, and the other right?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Yes. That’s very common in multi engine aircraft

[@bleonardyou]

This is a great lesson on what the plane is doing and why. But what do you do about it? Is it as simple as stepping on the ball or is there more to it?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Yep. Step on the ball! I need to remake this video to discuss that more

[@reuelmaharaj]

Its the same for helicopters and the reason why the have the rear propeller. the gyroscopic effect of the main propeller would force the helicopter to turn in the same direction it is spinning...clock or anticlockwise.☺

[@chiyo8175]

Always appreciated for your high quality videos ❤ I have a question why generate more downward force when we pitches(nose) up?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you! It should generate a nose right yawing motion when you pitch up from gyroscopic precession

[@olivierXV]

Hi and thanks for this very simplified reminder. Is that left wing producing more lift the cause to keep the right rudder during a stall practice? Because I've noticed that many instructors couldn't really explain this concept. Can we say that keeping the right rudder during a stall practice counteract the gyroscopic effect? Cheers

[@FreePilotTraining]

If you aren’t coordinated, then yes. One wing is creating more lift than the other

[@AbdelaliChihe]

thanks foe your great work you put in this video please can you cancel the music from the video

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome! The music goes away in the next few videos

[@peterbortels81]

Hi, i was thinking about buying a Paper back copy of the Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and a Paperback copy of the Airplane Flying Handbook depending on how old the copy's are there is a significant price difference in these handbooks. is it worth buying the latest version or is the difference minimal?

[@FreePilotTraining]

An older ones probably fine. I wouldn’t get one more than 5 years old though.

[@maddisonhayes8804]

This was great - thanks!

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@paulcrooks3742]

Simple. You àre so smart

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you so much

[@myyouth6864]

I’m confused about the gyroscopic procession effect. Does it cause right turn tendency? If so then why it is important to the tail wheel airplanes? Is it that when we pitch down, doing so create right turn tendency ?

[@FreePilotTraining]

It causes a right turning tendency when you push up and a left turning tendency when you push down. You push the nose down on a normal takeoff in a tailwheel aircraft so you get an additional left turning tendency

[@zbredeson677]

@@FreePilotTraining Im confused now, so it is actually a right turning tendency on tricycle gear (C152)?

[@photon1972]

Nice. Thanks again

[@FreePilotTraining]

No problem

[@arwood111]

Thank you!

[@지미월드]

Slightly confused with 2 things P-factor and Gyroscopic preccision. When pitching up, Gyroscopic precession also makes left turning tendency right? Due to the newton’s third law?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Gyroscopic precession will only cause the nose to move right when you pitch down because the direction the propeller is spinning. It’s usually offset by all the other left turning tendencies, except on a tailwheel airplane when they pitch down to get the tail off the runway. P-factor occurs because when the nose is pointed up, the propeller blade on the right has a higher angle of attack than the propeller on the left. This causes that right side to create more thrust

[@지미월드]

@@FreePilotTraining Really appreciate it helps me better understand!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Thebeardedbeard]

Wow, working on my CFI right now. Great video, I'll be watching more of these. Thank you!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Gary! My newer videos are a lot better too

[@essarahimi9122]

You shoulda known all of these before take your pp check-ride!!!

[@The_real_Dr_mysterious]

Putting A Curtis 1239e-8521 HPEVS AC-35 Brushless AC Motor Kit - in a Cessna 150 powered by a gas generator my idea is to use this electric motor with a generator to get better fuel mileage! Tell me what you think

[@FreePilotTraining]

Lol, I don’t know a lot about all that

[@RV-rk3fj]

Why left turning tendencies are most intense when takeoff?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Because you’re slow AND you’re at high power settings

[@erich930]

You’re slow, sometime heavy (even higher AOA) and at full power.

[@brandonsg1367]

Every torque explanation is “every action has an equal and opposite reaction” but that doesn’t explain the effect for me. The propeller is spinning clockwise, and the plane wants to go counter clockwise since it’s the opposite of the propeller, but why does that happen? I feel like intuitively, if the propeller is spinning clockwise, it would want to pull the plane in that direction. Why is the propeller essentially a separate object from the rest of the plane so that a force from the propeller has the opposite effect on the plane? It seems like the propeller and the plane should be one object, but it’s more like it’s two separate objects

[@FreePilotTraining]

Well, we talk about it like it’s the prop causing this, but in reality, it’s the engine. The engine is facing the other direction which means the torque is backwards. Hope this helps.

[@mr.fredricklawngtawnghedav5094]

👍 tips good yes

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks!

[@ZenithE8]

How can you have low airspeed if the power is high?

[@FreePilotTraining]

It’s possible if there is a lot of drag on the airplane. Either high AoA or flaps are down

[@ryanhurley14]

Slow flight
