| Feb 10, 2021 at 18:28 | comment | added | quiet flyer | @jamesqf-- nosewheel steering is connected to yoke, I believe. | |
| Feb 10, 2021 at 18:05 | comment | added | jamesqf | @quiet flyer: That makes me wonder how you steer an Ercoupe when taxiing. | |
| Feb 10, 2021 at 11:47 | comment | added | quiet flyer | Re "Why aren't rudder pedals automatic or connected with ailerons" -- Well, some are-- e.g. Piper Tri Pacer (connected to ailerons w/ bungees or springs), Ercoupe (no separate rudder pedals at all) | |

| Feb 10, 2021 at 7:44 | comment | added | Peter Duniho | The answers, all described in the duplicate and related posts, come down to: 1) it's not feasible to include such a feature in all planes, especially smaller/less-expensive ones, 2) it's not desirable to always remain coordinated, and 3) coordination in an airplane involves more than just a direct, proportional input of rudder along with aileron (this is closely related to the first point) | |
| Feb 10, 2021 at 7:42 | comment | added | Peter Duniho | IMHO, this is a duplicate, in that knowing why one needs to control yaw also explains why linking rudder and aileron is not something you want in every airplane. The answer to this question is also found in the Q&A mentioned above, as well as aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/24051/…, aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/25699/…, and aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/27823/… | |
