Frost will change the camber of the wing, increasing its lifting capability. Frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely affecting its lifting capability. How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?

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. This creates more lift and drag on the upgoing wing (left) and less on the downgoing (right) wing. What is Adverse Yaw?

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into 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. The lift imbalance causes the roll.
