Aircraft Handling & Control Phenomena

Aircraft Handling & Control Phenomena covers the flying qualities and “weird behaviours” you feel in the stick before you fully understand them. This section explains control and stability effects like PIO, Dutch roll, adverse yaw, stall and spin behaviour, trim effects, energy bleed, and other handling phenomena that affect how an aircraft responds to pilot inputs. The goal is to help you recognise what’s happening, stop fighting the jet, and fly with cleaner, safer control in DCS.
