Anti-servo tab
the formula to find your compass heading on a VFR flight
TC +/- WCA = TH
TH +/- VAR = MH
MH +/- DEV = CH
above 12,500 MSL after 30 min
Above 14,000 at all times

What does hatching on a Constant Pressure Analysis Chart indicate?
Windspeed 70-110 knots
Explain adverse yaw
The lifted wing in a turn produces more lift and drag causing a yaw motion in the opposite direction
