Systems and methods for stabilizing an aircraft (102) in response to a yaw movement are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a yaw movement of the aircraft (102). The yaw movement can cause a front portion of the aircraft (102) to move towards a first side of the aircraft (102). The method can further include, in response to the yaw movement, initiating a trim process resulting in a thrust differential. The trim process can include increasing thrust in one or more engines (104) on the first side of the aircraft (102) and decreasing thrust in one or more engines (104) on a second side of the aircraft (102). The method can include controlling the trim process based at least in part on a detected yaw movement of the aircraft (102).
