Consider a statically stable aircraft in the yaw direction. What direction will the aircraft straight away yaw to after the pilot releases his left foot rudder pedal?

Answer 1

If the aircraft is statically stable in the yaw direction, it means that it naturally tends to return to its original yaw position after a disturbance. In this scenario, when the pilot releases his left foot rudder pedal, which is used to control the yawing motion, the aircraft will yaw to the right.

positive or negative

Answer 3

In the context of the yaw direction, the terms "positive" and "negative" are not typically used to describe the direction of yawing motion. Instead, the terms "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" are commonly used.

In the case of a statically stable aircraft in the yaw direction, when the pilot releases his left foot rudder pedal, the aircraft will yaw in a counterclockwise direction.

Answer 4

The Positive yaw direction

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. If we consider the positive yaw direction as the clockwise direction (when viewed from above), then when the pilot releases his left foot rudder pedal, the aircraft will yaw in the positive yaw direction.
