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

  familiar with the situations that can lead to a cross-control stall, how to recognize and avoid this stall, and how to recover should one occur. The aerodynamic effects of the uncoordinated, cross-control stall can surprise the unwary pilot…

  Flight Control Systems Flight Controls Aircraft flight control systems consist of primary and secondary systems. The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control an aircraft safely during flight. Wing flaps, leading ... edge devices, spoilers, and trim systems constitute the secondary control system and improve the performance characteristics of the airplane or relieve the pilot of excessive control forces. Primary Flight Controls Aircraft control systems are carefully designed to provide adequate responsiveness…

  Accelerated Stalls While pilots may understand the cause of an accelerated stall, it takes training to experience how these stalls develop and occur. The objectives of demonstrating an accelerated stall are to determine the stall characteristics of the airplane, experience ... stalls at speeds greater than the +1G stall speed, and develop the ability to instinctively recover at the onset of such stalls. This is a maneuver only commercial pilot and flight instructor applicants may be required to perform…

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

  Indications of a full stall are typically that an uncommanded nose down pitch cannot be readily arrested, and may be accompanied by an uncommanded rolling motion. For airplanes equipped with stick pushers, their activation is also an indicator ... full stall. Although it depends on the degree to which a stall has progressed, some loss of altitude is expected during recovery. The longer it takes for the pilot to recognize an impending stall, the more likely it is that…

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

  Stalls A stall is an aerodynamic condition which occurs when smooth airflow over the airplane’s wings is disrupted, resulting in loss of lift. Specifically, a stall occurs when the AOA—the angle between the chord line of the wing ... attitude, and at any power setting. [Figure 5-8] Figure 5-8. Critical angle of attack and stall. For these reasons, it is important to understand factors and situations that can lead to a stall, and develop proficiency in stall…
