Pilots must use specific techniques, applying rudder and aileron inputs, to maintain directional control and keep the aircraft aligned. Can cause sudden losses or gains in indicated airspeed (IAS), directly affecting lift. – A negative value indicates tailwind. DC = arctan(TAS/Vc) Where TAS is the True Airspeed.

“A few seconds later the airplane data showed a maneuver consistent with an aileron roll followed by a rapid descent about 1,000 feet before regaining its prior altitude and track above the highway.” I did my first aileron roll in an RV-4. Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed.
