  • CHAPTER 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 300. SPIN TRAINING › a. Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins

    Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins. Before practicing intentional spins, the AFM or POH should be consulted for the proper entry and recovery techniques. b. The training should begin by practicing both power ... power-off stalls to familiarize the applicant with the aircraft's stall characteristics. Spin avoidance, incipient spins, actual spin entry, spin, and spin recovery techniques should be practiced from an altitude above 3,500 feet AGL. c. Spin avoidance training…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Power-On Approach to Stall (Takeoff and Departure)

    Power-On Approach to Stall (Takeoff and Departure) A power-on approach to stall is trained and checked to simulate problematic takeoff scenarios. A power-on approach to stall may be performed from straight-and-level flight or from shallow ... medium banked turns (up to 20 degrees of bank). To initiate a power-on approach to stall maneuver, the area surrounding the airplane should always be cleared to look for potential traffic. The airplane is slowed to the manufacturer…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 104. TYPES OF STALLS

    TYPES OF STALLS. Stalls can be practiced both with and without power. Stalls should be practiced to familiarize the student with the aircraft’s particular stall characteristics without putting the aircraft into a potentially dangerous condition. In multiengine airplanes, single ... engine stalls must be avoided. Descriptions of some different types of stalls follows: a. Power-off stalls (also known as approach-to-landing stalls) are practiced to simulate normal approach-to-landing conditions and configuration. Many stall/spin accidents have occurred…

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

    Stall Training Practice in both power-on and power-off stalls is important because it simulates stall conditions that could occur during normal flight maneuvers. It is important for pilots to understand the possible 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’s awareness of what could happen…

  • CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING › f. Stalls During Go-Arounds

    Cross Controlled Stalls in Gliding Turns. Perform stalls in gliding turns to simulate turns from base to final. Perform the stalls from a properly coordinated turn, a slipping turn, and a skidding turn. Explain the difference between slipping and skidding ... turns. Explain the ball indicator position in each turn and the aircraft behavior in each of the stalls. e. Power-Off (Approach-To-Landing) Stalls (1) Have the student perform a full-flap, gear-extended, power-off stall with…

  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Approaches to Stalls (Impending Stalls), Power-On or Power-Off

    Approaches to Stalls (Impending Stalls), Power-On or Power-Off An impending stall occurs when the airplane is approaching, but does not exceed the critical AOA. The purpose of practicing impending stalls is to learn to retain or regain full ... control of the airplane immediately upon recognizing that it is nearing a stall, or that a stall is likely to occur if the pilot does not take appropriate action. Pilot training should emphasize teaching the same recovery technique for impending…
