Question

During a sideslip, the pilot applies

• A. Aileron and rudder in the same direction
• B. Opposite aileron and rudder
• C. Elevator only
• D. Rudder only

Hint:

During a sideslip, \[ \boxed{ \text{Bank with ailerons} + \text{Opposite rudder} } \] is used to maintain runway alignment, especially during crosswind landings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the sideslip maneuver. A sideslip is a maneuver in which the aircraft is intentionally banked while applying opposite rudder to maintain the desired flight path.

Step 2: Identify the required control inputs. During a sideslip, \[ \boxed{ \text{Aileron is applied in one direction and rudder in the opposite direction.} } \] This balances the aircraft and produces the desired sideways motion. Therefore, \[ \boxed{\text{Opposite aileron and rudder}} \] is the correct answer. Thus, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
