Directional stability refers to an aircraft's ability to maintain its course without excessive inputs from the pilot, typically facilitated by its design and aerodynamic features, such as the vertical stabilizer. It is crucial for ensuring that the aircraft does not uncontrollably yaw or veer off its intended flight path, thus affecting navigational accuracy and safety.
