Is this in anyway akin to drivers counter-intuitively steering into a skid in order to regain traction?
- clon 8y agoYou are correct in it being counter-intuitive and seemingly opposing the desired outcome. You need to recognize the situation fast and know precisely what you are doing. Unenviable position to be in at 500ft AGL.
- jacquesm 8y agoIn this case you are either going into a commanded descent into terrain or the broken computer will do it for you, at that altitude there aren't many chances of getting out of that situation in one piece.
- hammock 8y agoMore like how you have to steer a bike slightly in the opposite direction, before spinning the wheel towards the way you want to go.
