Dutch roll is a coupled, oscillatory motion in an aircraft, combining both yaw (movement around the vertical axis) and roll (rotation around the longitudinal axis). It’s triggered by a disruption , like a gust of wind, impacting the aircraft’s stability. This initial yaw shifts one wing ahead of the other.

Roll or bank is the aircrafts movement about its longitudinal axis. Since theyre located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, both ailerons need to move in the opposite directions to complement each others motion. This movement turns the aircraft about the longitudinal axis, making it enter a bank.

They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis. Both forces complement each other, and the net torque about the longitudinal axis makes the aircraft roll. It offers pitch control, meaning the aircraft pivots about the lateral axis.

The left winglet of one of the aircraft collided with the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator of the other. The aircraft sustained damage to the leading edge of the right-hand horizontal stabilizer and was subsequently repaired. The DHC-8 safely returned to Wilson Airport, with all 39 passengers and five crew on board uninjured.
