Control reversal
open-in-new
<p>Control reversal is an adverse effect on the controllability of <a href="/facts/Aircraft/EhC4mBep">aircraft</a>. The <a href="/facts/Aircraft_flight_control_system/4uBmYcHf">flight controls</a> reverse themselves in a way that is not intuitive, so pilots may not be aware of the situation; to roll to the left, they have to push the control stick to the right, the opposite of the normal direction. </p>
