Re: One Engine approach
Yes. You will need to actively control the ailerons and rudder to keep the approach stable. You want to come in with a slightly higher approach speed. Throttles back to idle over the threshold will allow you to straighten the airplane out and touch down on the runway heading but you need yaw control to do it.

Re: One Engine approach
I did it with my joystick's "twist" yaw control.

Re: One Engine approach
When I passed my checkride I was using buttons on my joystick to control the rudder. Now that I've got pedals it is so much easier.

Re: One Engine approach
dial in extra rudder with the trim....most of my a/c fly nicely with the aid of rudder trim.....just keep in mind that changing airspeed requires a change in rudder trim. what worked at cruise/descent speeds/thrust will be different then departure or approach speeds and thrust. It should keep you straightened out crossing the fence and into the flare

One should shave one's feet prior to photographing and posting to the world.
