Cooda Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Andy The ailerons were fine. The rudder locked hard left. High power settings exacerbated the yaw to the left so they had little option but to go down. He also had to keep speed up to maintain aileron effectiveness, so it ended with a flapless landing into a 20-25 kt head/cross wind. (Head wind when he rolled wings level/cross wind immediately after) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andys@coffs Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Oops sorry about that He was lucky it was the aircraft it was.....in mine (J230) Id be pretty sure that full rudder can override aileron, I dont think I could hold it with Aileron especially at slower speeds (which you covered) .....all we would be missing is a bit of elevator for the snap roll!

Cooda Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Andy No apology necessary. I find the useful thing about discussions like this is it gets us thinking about how simply things can go out of whack and what we might do if placed in such a situation. Forewarned is forearmed etc. I also fly the J230 when the opportunity presents. But up until now I hadn't thought of the relative power of rudder v aileron. (I have enough trouble keeping it straight on the runway. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
