During taxi, the ailerons should be deflected _____________.

During taxiing, deflecting the ailerons into the wind is essential for maintaining control of the aircraft. This technique ensures that the wing that is higher due to wind acting upon it receives additional lift, which counteracts the tendency of the aircraft to roll away from the wind. By holding the ailerons into the wind, the pilot can stabilize the aircraft and prevent it from being blown off course, especially in gusty conditions. This practice enhances safety and helps maintain directional control while navigating ground operations.

The other choices do not provide the appropriate control necessary to combat wind effects during taxi.
