[GyroRon]

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!

[RockyMeLad]

Ron, you're stuttering again...
but your answer is right.

[Paul_Zurawski]

Gotta get the lift component into a horizontal vector (B)

[Student]

I like the easy ones. :)

[mceagle]

"C" - Change the direction of thrust (rotor)

[Mike Jackson]

All the above but most conventionally "B".

[Chris Burgess]

There is only one "most correct" answer with the FAA.

[Doug Riley]

The FAA apparently is not "on board" with rotorcrafters' use of the word "thrust" to refer to the resultant force generated by the rotor. To them, thrust is only what a propeller makes.

You just have to memorize the answers they want.

[Chris Burgess]

The horizontal component of "lift" makes the aircraft turn. The study guide says you can not change the direction of thrust, ie propeller. Guess what? The FAA answer is "B". Ron, it's OK to take your finger off the "B" key, really!!!

[Rehan K.Janjua]

I knew this one .
But got left out again... what a Bomer.
