Sideslip of 8 degrees requires 5 degrees of aileron to hold. The ratio of aileron to sideslip is

  • A.0.625
  • B.1.6
  • C.40
  • D.13

Answer: A

Dividing gives \( 5/8 = 0.625 \) degrees of aileron per degree of sideslip. This ratio is a direct flight test measure of the dihedral effect, since it is the aileron needed to resist the rolling moment sideslip produces.
