Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Accelerated Stalls
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 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 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Accelerated Approach to Stall
Full Stall It is not recommended that full stalls be practiced unless a qualified flight instructor is present. A power-off or power-on full stall should only be practiced in a structured lesson with clear learning objectives and cautions ... pilots the experience of the handling characteristics and dynamic cues (e.g., buffet, roll off) near and at full stall and (b) to reinforce the proper application of the stall recovery procedures. Given the associated risk of asymmetric thrust at high…
