# Flight Characteristics
What is P-Factor?
An effect of the propeller - AOA is higher on the downward blade than the upward blade causing the aircraft to yaw left

# Flight Characteristics
What is Torque Effect?
It is a reaction equal and opposite the torque of the rotatingh propeller. The T-6 tends to roll to the left as a result of torque when power is increased. Also, the aircraft tends to roll right as power is decreased

# Flight Characteristics
What is Gyroscopic Effect?
Sometimes call Gyroscopic Precessions, occurs when a force is applied to displace a spinning mass resulting in action on a plane 90 degrees from where it was applied. I.E.:
If the nose is yawed left, nose also pitches up
If the nose is yawed right, nose pitches down
If the nose pitches up, nose yaws right
If the nose pitches down, nose yaws left

# Flight Characteristics
What is Adverse Yaw?
It is the tendency of the aircraft to yaw away from the direction of aileron input. I.E.: as the stick is moved left, the right wing creates more lift, but also more induced drag on that same wing, which creates a yaw towards that wing.
