During a go-around in a piston single, especially a high-powered airplane with lots of engine torque and p-factor to overcome, making sure you add right rudder as you go to full power is critical.
This Week’s Flying Tip: Muscle Memory on Go Around
Key Takeaways:
- Adding right rudder is critical during a go-around in high-powered piston single aircraft to counter left-turning tendencies caused by torque and p-factor.
- A beneficial training exercise involves mentally linking the right hand (throttle) and right foot (rudder) to ensure simultaneous input of power and right rudder.
- The primary goal is to develop muscle memory for applying right rudder during sudden power application to maintain coordinated flight and a centered ball during a climb-out.
