Rolling a 172 - or not
If I'm crusing along at 100 KIAS in a 172 in clear air and I roll left
while maintaining neutral rudder, what will happen if I don't neutralize the ailerons? I'm picturing the plane rolling on to its back while losing altitude and either completing the roll (doubtful) or stalling into a dive and recovering in the other direction , right side up. (BTW, that's a split-S, isn't it?) I wouldn't anticipate a spin unless some serious rudder was cranked in the direction of the roll. -Scott "I feel like REALLY flying today" Lowrey |
