No P-Factor Effect ?
-
The BSQ Baron needs a little right foot to keep it coordinated. How much more Left yawing force do you think it should have with two operating engines?
-
I am not sure so I am asking - with two engines instead of one, should the effect be more ?
On the A2A Comanche, the effect was very, very pronounced.
@Avio Yeah, you're going to need a lot more foot in a singIe to compensate for P-Factor than a conventional multi. I have a bunch of time in the B55 Baron and the D95 Travelair, they both require a bit of right foot on the takeoff roll and the initial climbout, the Baron obviously a bit more because it has more power. The BSQ Baron also needs a bit of right foot so I would say it's on par. Comparing the amount of rudder pressure you need IRL and in the sim is a bad comparison since in the Real Aircraft it's more pressure than movement and in the sim, since most rudder pedals are lacking resistance, it's more movement than pressure. But the good news is, I think the amount of rudder needed in the BSQ Baron is represented as well as it can be. One Engine Inop flight characteristics in the BSQ Baron is actually pretty darn good if you compare it to the real plane. I am currently using it to teach proficiency and muscle memory to a Commercial Multi student of mine and it's been a great learning tool.

@Avio No, with two engines operating you're going to get alot LESS left yawing force than with your critical engine (Left engine) inop.
If you want to dive down this rabbit hole then here's a good free link that will explain the physics and aerodynamics of Multi Engine Theory.
