What will happen if the threshold speed for full rudder deflection is exceeded, in KIAS?

When the threshold speed for full rudder deflection is exceeded, the primary concern is the potential for loss of control of the aircraft. At higher speeds, the effectiveness of the rudder can diminish due to increased aerodynamic forces. Exceeding the threshold can lead to the rudder reaching a point where it is either unable to generate sufficient authority or may result in undesirable yaw characteristics, making it difficult for the pilot to maintain controlled flight.

In this situation, the aircraft may become sensitive to adverse yaw, leading to a scenario where the pilot cannot effectively manage the aircraft's directional stability and control. This loss of control becomes critical, especially during maneuvers that typically rely on rudder input for maintaining coordinated flight, such as turns or during crosswind landings.

Understanding this concept is essential for pilots and is rooted in the aircraft's design limits and aerodynamics. The implications emphasize the importance of adhering to operational speed limits and recognizing how speed affects control surfaces.
