aerodynamicsFAA-published sample question (FIA, Aug 2021)
What will cause the nose of an aircraft to move in the direction of the turn before the bank starts in a turn entry?
A
Rudder being applied too late.
B
Rudder being applied too soon.✓ Correct Answer
C
Failure to apply back elevator pressure.
Explanation
If rudder is applied before aileron (too soon), the nose yaws in the direction of the turn before the bank begins, a skid. Rudder applied too late lets adverse yaw swing the nose away from the turn, and back pressure affects pitch, not this yaw.
