Whether it's forward or side slip depends on the amount of control inputs. A forward slip has enough rudder to point the nose to the side, with opposite bank to prevent turning, so that your path continues straight ahead in the absence of a crosswind.
- Why does the A320 have an anti skid system and how does it work?0. Robin, not only the A320 but all modern jetliners have anti-skid. Like the name suggests the system is to avoid the tires to skid. It works basically like an ABS but it's actually the ABS 2.0. The system brakes until just before the tires lock but without modulation like the ABS and it applies more pressure the less is the ground speed.
- What do the pilots do if the plane they are operating does not have an ...A Cessna 172 has no anti icing system, as long as I remember a electrical pitot heater for preventing freezing over the pitot tube and a carb heater for preventing formation of ice in carburetor are the only two ways to prevent ice from forming; for that the C172 cannot fly in icy conditions.
- What ground speed reference is used for anti skid control?On the Airbus A320, the ADIRU (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit) data is used for the reference speed of the anti-skid system: The system compares the speed of each main gear wheel (given by a tachometer) with the speed of the aircraft (reference speed). When the speed of a wheel drops below 0.87 times the reference speed, the system orders ...
- What exactly is a "coordinated" turn? - Aviation Stack ExchangeThe Slip/Skid Indicator on your Turn Coordinator acts like a calibrated pendulum. It will move in the direction that the forces acting on the plane will move any object in the plane (including the pilot). In other words, it will move to the outside of the turn in a skid, and to the inside of the turn in a slip.
