Uncoordinated flight.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Uncoordinated flight.

Bottom line

When the projection of the visual reference line moves forward with respect to the pylon, many pilots tend to apply inside rudder pressure to yaw the wing backward. The pilot should use the rudder only for coordination.
