Adverse Yaw Explained: A Pilot’s Guide to Better Control

Pilot Institute

The lift and drag imbalance between the left and right ailerons creates adverse yaw. Adverse yaw is an undesirable side effect of lift production, resulting in an uncoordinated, slipping turn. The changes in aerodynamic forces that occur during aileron deflection cause adverse yaw. What is Adverse Yaw?

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. We correct for the overbanking tendency with aileron opposite the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift.
