increased lift also increases drag, which may cause the airspeed to decrease. The pilot should know the published stall speed for 45° of bank, flaps up, before performing the maneuver. This speed is typically published in the AFM. An airplane ... typically stalls during a level, coordinated turn similar to the way it does in wings-level flight, except that the stall buffet can be sharper. If the turn is coordinated at the time of the stall, the airplane’s nose…

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…

recommended setting is to avoid an excessively steep nose-up attitude for a long period before the airplane stalls. After establishing the climb attitude, the pilot should smoothly raise the nose to increase the AOA, and hold that attitude until ... full stall occurs. As described in connection with the stall characteristics discussion, continual adjustments should be made to aileron pressure, elevator pressure, and rudder pressure to maintain coordinated flight while holding the attitude until the full stall occurs. In most…

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…
