Question about aileron trim Settings
-
Hello,
Is it also normal for you that, in addition to setting the rudder trim to the right before takeoff to keep the ball centered at full power, you also have to add right aileron trim? Otherwise, the aircraft turns left. Even at cruising altitude, I have to reduce the rudder trim to keep the ball centered, but I still need the right aileron trim. Of course, the aircraft is balanced, and the fuel is evenly distributed across the two tanks. I don’t know if any other factors could be affecting this situation. The POH clearly states that the rudder trim should be used before takeoff, while the aileron trim should be neutral.
@Black-Square ?Thank you, Seb

The left rolling tendency you are getting under full power in a climb and with the ailerons neutral is due to engine torque. Having to correct with right aileron is normal. You should notice that after you reduce power and level out in cruise that the decrease in AOA and power will allow for a close to neutral aileron input for level flight.
