Near the stall a pilot attempts to raise a dropping wing with aileron and finds the wing drops further instead.

What has occurred and what should be used instead?

  • A.The fin stalled; more rudder should be applied
  • B.The lowered aileron stalled that section; rudder and spoilers are preferred
  • C.The ailerons reversed from wing twist; inboard ailerons are preferred
  • D.Adverse yaw; more aileron should be applied

Answer: B

Lowering an aileron raises local incidence on a wing already near its limit, so it may stall rather than gain lift. Rudder and spoilers avoid the problem because neither increases the local angle of attack anywhere on the wing.
