Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › Basic Safety Concepts › Airplane Configuration
Airplane Configuration Since flaps improve maneuverability at slow speed, and lower the stalling speed, their use during final approach is recommended when time and circumstances permit. However, the associated increase in drag and decrease in gliding distance call for caution ... available, a gear-up landing on level, but soft terrain or across a plowed field may result in less airplane damage than a gear-down landing. [Figure 18-3] Deactivation of the airplane’s electrical system before touchdown reduces…

Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Approach to Stall
Approach to Stall Practicing approach to stall recoveries in various airplane configurations should build confidence in a pilot’s ability to control the airplane in unexpected situations. Approach to stall should be practiced from straight flight and from shallow banks ... traffic, appropriate weather, and the availability of radar traffic advisory service. Approaches to stalls are accomplished in the following configurations: 1. Takeoff configuration—should begin from level flight near liftoff speed. Power should be applied while simultaneously increasing the angle…
