Yawing: An unstable side-to-side motion, about the vertical axis of an aeroplane, which may be described as rotary or angular.

The yawing moment due to twisted lift is essentially independent of airspeed. It just depends on the deflection-angle of the ailerons. Meanwhile, though, the force produced by the rudder is proportional to airspeed squared.

As with a boat, for steering or "yawing" or changing its direction of travel.
12. Elevator or Flap; Flippers.-A hinged horizontal surface for controlling the airplane up and down, usually attached ...

As a normal procedure, you don't want to be yawing the aircraft while it is on the ground. This can result in an accident.

A pilot should not assume that yawing tendencies caused by attitude, P-factor, gyro effect and lift are limited to tail draggers. Any correctly flown single engine propeller driven aircraft will respond to these factors and effects.

As you approach the stall, feed in a little right rudder to compensate for the airplane's increasing left turning/yawing tendency. Apply enough rudder to keep the ball centered in the inclinometer.

Dutch roll: A Dutch Roll is a combination of rolling and yawing (coupled lateral/directional) oscillations that normally occurs when the dihedral effects of an aircraft are more powerful than the directional stability.

In the air, rudder is valuable for "yawing" the aircraft (rotating it on its vertical axis; also called the yaw axis) to a slightly different heading. As a general rule, use a few strokes of rudder for a heading change of 30 degrees or less.

Entering a spin deliberately is easy: bring the aircraft in the stall and introduce a yawing motion by applying rudder, left or right.

CRAB - A rudder-controlled yawing motion to compensate for a crosswind in maintaining a desired flight path, as in a landing approach.

how important keeping the ball centered (keeping the airplane coordinated) is to not only airplane efficiency but, in some situations, to overall safety. Among other things, an airplane with the ball centered is an airplane that's not yawing and an ...

Backseat Driver
Tandem seating puts the student (and instructor) on the centerline. That helps students feel yawing motion, and it allows them to more easily line up precisely with the runway centerline during takeoff and landing.

The vertical tail structure (or fin) has a fixed front section called the vertical stabilizer, used to restrict side-to-side motion of the aircraft (yawing).

Forces the tail left or right, correspondingly "yawing" the aircraft right or left. Rudder movement "coordinates" with the banking of wings to balance a turn. Controlled by left and right rudder (foot) pedals.

FISHTAILING - A rudder-controlled side-to-side [yawing] motion to reduce air speed, generally prior to landing.

Snaking: Aircraft yawing from side-to-side (like a snake).
Snap roll: Abrupt manouever aided by the engine torque/prop rotation; possible to "snap" out of control.
