![]() "Duane Eisenbeiss" wrote in message ... "Nyal Williams" wrote in message ... We should have a conversation with students specifically about which end of the yaw string is the pointer/tail/indicator, etc. and which foot does what to that end of the string under discussion. The above post was incomplete. Over sensitive Send button. View the string as a pointer. The forward end (the point) points at the required rudder pedal to continue the turn or stop yaw. Therefore opposite rudder in a spin would be the other rudder pedal or the top of the string. Duane |

It is impossible for the forward end to "point" at anything, since it is fixed in place by tape. The string pivots around its stationary forward end. Any "pointing" is of course done by the free aft end of the string, away from the pivotal point. Same thing as the hands of a clock. The minute hand points "right", not left, at five past twelve. If you give left rudder you will slip to the right and the string will point left. Cheers CV |

So do you tell students that the wind sock points to where the wind is going? Impossible or not, by using my *imagination* early in my flying career, I was able to simply and quickly make sense of what the yaw string was indicating without having to think about where the relative wind was coming from, or which pedal to push. Jeez. Shawn |
