Coordinating rudder and aileron inputs ensures that the turn is smooth and balanced, preventing the aircraft from skidding (too much rudder) or slipping (too little rudder).
The primary cause of a stall is exceeding the critical angle of attack. Lowering the nose reduces this angle, allowing the wing to regain lift before other recovery actions.
In a steep turn, the increased bank angle requires more lift to maintain altitude. Adding power compensates for the extra drag, and increasing back pressure maintains the necessary lift.
In a soft-field takeoff, the goal is to minimize drag and avoid the nosewheel sinking into soft terrain. Partial back pressure allows the aircraft to accelerate while keeping the nosewheel off the ground until liftoff.
Best glide speed is critical during an engine failure, as it allows the aircraft to cover the maximum distance per altitude lost, based on the lift-to-drag ratio.
