context_page_description: Propeller walk is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about its vertical axis. The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.
  Knowing of and understanding propeller walk is important when maneuvering in small spaces. It can be used to one's advantage while mooring off, or it can complicate a maneuver if the effect works against the pilot.
