How do autopilots make coordinated turns even when they cannot control the

If they don't control the rudder, they do not make coordinated turns!

Boy we have the blind leading the blind here.

The whole point of that big vertical slab of metal sticking out of the
ass-end of your airplane is to provide a natural tendency for the
aircraft to fly coordinated. The pedals are just there for the
outlying conditions (low speed, high AOA for example) and fine
adjustment.


Ron...

oh my goodness...get some time with a good book on the subject and
then a CFI.
