4 Left Turning Tendencies
Turn and Slip
Critical AOA
The descending blade takes a larger bite of air than the upward moving blade causing a turn to the left
Torque Reaction
Gyroscopic Procession
Slipstream
P-factor (precession factor)
The wash back of air from the prop spirals around the plane hitting the vertical stabilizer
Slipstream
P-Factor
Torque Reaction
Gyroscopic Procession
As the prop moves clockwise, from the pilot seat, the plane rotates in the opposite direction
P-Factor
Gyroscopic Procession
Torque
Slipstream
As the air hits the top of the prop, due to Newton's law of motion, will be applied at a 90 degrees later, creating a yaw to the left.
