Spooling down on icy runways
Say you're landing on a 15,000 foot runway coated with ice. You want to keep
the plane going in a straight line without thrust reversers. Which is the
greatest contributor to yaw?
Engine torque
or
Thrust
or
Rudder?
Is their a difference from piston to turboprop to jet?
Why is it important to know this to keep the plane going straight?
At what airspeed does the rudder become ineffective?
