Using the Rudders in the CRJ-200
Posted by Jeffrey on 2nd August 2009
If you have been flying a single-engine airplane for any amount of time you probably have a well developed right leg. If you remember from your ground school days about single-engine airplanes, you will recall that when a single-engine airplane climbs, the descending blade, on a right turning propeller, has a larger angle-of-attack, which pushes more air and causes the airplane to want to turn to the left. You then have to apply more right rudder to compensate for this left-turning tendency or P-factor.
