Uncoordinated flight.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Uncoordinated flight.

Bottom line

In a skidding stall, the yawing tendency can cause the stall to develop into a spin. In a skid, slip, or uncoordinated turn, pilots feel they are being forced sideways in their seat. It is essential that pilots smoothly manage coordinated flight control inputs while maneuvering without a stall warning.
