I might have been teaching it wrong for forty years, but I was taught
simultaneous aileron and rudder. One of the best exercises I know of for teaching coordination are mild dutch rolls, say 20° or so of bank continuous left and right for a few miles. It wears the student out pretty fast until they get the hang of it, but thereafter their turns are a thing of joy to behold. You can do it coming home from the practice area until you are almost into the pattern and it provides a good opportunity to lift a wing and see what is underneath as well. Jim -- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with chocolate in one hand and wine in the other, loudly proclaiming 'WOO HOO What a Ride!'" --Unknown Yes, I do use rudder. Perhaps I don't understand exactly what is meant by leading a turn. I assumed it was using rudder first instead of simultaneous use of aileron and rudder. Is that incorrect?
