Formed by the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of movement of the nose gear
Between the direction of wind and the longitudinal axis of the runway
Between the true speed of the aircraft and the crosswind component
Between the horizontal and the fuselage axis
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. Formed by the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of movement of the nose gear.
Castor angle is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of movement of the nose gear. It is used to maintain directional stability during taxiing and takeoff.
Option B is the definition of the windward drift angle.
Option C is the definition of the crosswind component.
Option D is the definition of the dihedral angle.
