P-factor is then offset by holding right aileron to keep the heading constant, and the slip indicator is out of center by a quarter or half of the ball or marker, showing that the airplane is flying sideways in the climb. The resulting drag increase slows climb rate.

As air moves over the curved top surface of the wing and the flatter bottom, lift is generated, allowing the plane to rise. Wings also include movable surfaces like ailerons (used to roll the plane left or right) and flaps (used to increase lift at lower speeds, especially during takeoff and landing).
