What did the foot on the rudder pedal mean in HATCHET?
In the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, the foot on the rudder pedal signifies Brian's realization that he needs to control the plane and try to steer it toward safety as the pilot had a heart attack. It also symbolizes Brian's resourcefulness and determination to try to survive by taking action in a critical situation.
How do airplanes make banking turns?
The pilot turns the wheel slightly to operate the 'ailerons' and pushes the rudder pedals with his feet to turn the rudder behind the fin
How does a pilot use the rudder to turn the plane to the right?
so they can go to the right easily
Who directs the course of a ship or plane?
The captain directs the course of a ship, while the pilot directs the course of a plane. Both are responsible for navigating the vessel safely to its destination.
What is a rutter on a boat?
A rutter is a written pilot guide about shorelines and harbours, not to be confused with rudder, the steering device on a vessel.
Where is the ruder on the airplane?
The rudder is the back portion of the vertical fin on the tail. It is hinged and moves from side to side as required by the pilot.
What controls inside the aircraft will the pilot use to control the yawing motion of the aircraft?
the yaw of an aircraft is controlled by the rudder pedals.
If the pilot moves the rudder to the left what will the tail do?
Applying left rudder turns the vertical stabilizer (tab) to the left, pushing the tail to the right and thereby the nose to the left (left turn). The primary role of the rudder is to reduce adverse yaw and thereby improve performance in banking turns and climbs.
Brian Hatchet remembers that when the pilot had his heart attack his right foot jerked down on the rudder pedal What are the implicationsof this for brian's situation?
The implication is that Brian should try to steer the plane using the rudder pedals with caution, as unexpected movements from the unconscious pilot could affect the aircraft's direction. Brian may need to be prepared to counter any sudden movements in order to maintain control of the plane and prevent it from veering off course. It is essential for Brian to stay calm, assess the situation, and make necessary adjustments to ensure the safety of the flight.

To make an airplane turn a pilot increases the drag on one wing On which wing would a pilot increase drag to make the plane turn to the right?
The right one Kind of. Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll. By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips. The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.
Can you fly on a plane with a broken leg?
You cannot pilot a plane with a broken leg, because you have to press the rudder peddals, but yes, you can fly on a plane with a broken leg.
