A2A C172 Trainer banking to the left in flight

Post by cxa132 »

My C172 is turning left on the runway and is banking left in flight. What do I do wrong?

Apply right rudder when at high power and/is at high angles of attack. Single engine prop driven aircraft have left turning tendencies that trim out at cruise speed and power.
