  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Stall Training

    flight scenarios in which a stall could occur. Stall accidents usually result from an inadvertent stall at a low altitude, with the recovery not completed prior to ground contact. For example, power-on stalls are practiced to develop the pilot ... failed, or if low on the approach to landing. As in all maneuvers that involve significant changes in altitude or direction, the pilot should ensure that the area is clear of other air traffic at and below their altitude…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Accelerated Approach to Stall

    high angles of attack and low rudder effectiveness due to low airspeeds, this reinforces the primary step of first lowering the AOA, which allows all control surfaces to become more effective and allows for roll to be better controlled. Thrust ... airplane manufacturer’s recommended airspeed, the specified design maneuvering speed (VA), or operating maneuvering speed (VO). The pilot should select an entry altitude that will allow completion of the maneuver no lower than 3,000 feet AGL. The entry method…

  • CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING

    slow flight and other maneuvers with distractions that can lead to inadvertent stalls, should be conducted at a sufficient altitude to enable recovery above 1,500 feet AGL in single-engine airplanes and 3,000 feet AGL in multiengine airplanes ... stalls should not be demonstrated or practiced in multiengine airplanes. Airplanes with normally aspirated engines will lose power as altitude increases because of the reduced density of the air entering the induction system of the engines. This loss of power…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 103. STALL RECOGNITION

    noted, initiation of a recovery should be instinctive (unless a full stall is being practiced intentionally from an altitude that allows recovery at least 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL) for single-engine airplanes and 3,000 feet AGL ... aircraft. These preliminary indications serve as a warning to the pilot to increase airspeed by adding power, lowering the nose, and/or decreasing the angle of bank…

  • Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Descent and Approach › Descent Planning

    typical idle power descent, the top of descent (TOD), point A in figure 16-14, is determined by altitude, adjusted for wind. Jet descent profiles normally approximate a 3 degree path, with some time/distance required for deceleration in level flight ... airport without factoring wind, an estimate for TOD may be calculated by multiplying the planned descent (in thousands of feet) by 3 and adding any distance needed for speed reductions in level flight (losing about 10 KIAS per mile when…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Stall Training

    Stall Training It is recommended that stalls be practiced at an altitude that allows recovery no lower than 3,000 feet AGL for multiengine airplanes, or higher if recommended by the AFM/POH. Losing altitude during recovery from a stall ... Following a reduction in the AOA and the stall warning being eliminated, the wings should be rolled level and power added as needed. Immediate full application of power in a stalled condition has an associated risk due to the possibility…
