Welcome to the Academy of Ace Pilots! Have you ever been curious about "zero side slips" during an engine outing? Let us analyze it using straightforward terminology.
Any airplane with 0% (eliminated) side slip has its nose aligned with the wind. Imagine there is no side slip when a component of the string is taped along the plane's center line.
Zero side slips can be attained using a combination of rudder and longitudinal aileron during a single-engine outage. It resembles balancing an airplane to ensure a smooth flight. The problem arises, though, when an engine fails. Things become a little more complicated.
Although the ball in the inclinometer isn't very helpful, we can still make sure we're flying in the performance charts by using a technique that involves a bank angle and ball position. We can better handle the engines' inconsistent power thanks to this.
For stability, we may need to establish a large rudder input if we have one engine out and our wings are level. Yet ascending is not the best thing to do because it produces a modest side slip.
Furthermore, using ailerons alone will only deteriorate performance and increase the difficulty of rising. However, the ideal climb performance and zero side slip are achieved when the rudder and ailerons are precisely combined!
Don't forget that drag increases and performance decreases with any attitude other than zero side slip. It is comparable to locating the optimal climbing location for your aircraft.
To learn zero thrust, we imitate situations in our flight training, such as a feathered prop. For zero side slip and optimal climb performance, we may determine the ideal bank angle and ball location by turning off one engine and flying safely at a particular speed.
That's it - zero side slip simplified! We are grateful that you could attend the Ace Pilot School. Please feel free to ask more questions in the space provided below, and we'll talk to you in the upcoming class!
