  • 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 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 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING

    CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS 200. STALL TRAINING. Flight instructor-airplane and flight instructor-glider applicants must be able to give stall training. The flight instructor should emphasize that techniques and procedures for each aircraft may differ and that pilots ... each aircraft flown. The most effective training method contained in Report No. FAA-RD-77-26, General Aviation Pilot Stall Awareness Study, is the simulation of scenarios that can lead to inadvertent stalls by creating distractions while the student…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 102. WING CONTAMINATION EFFECTS ON STALL WARNING, STALL SPEED, AND POSTSTALL RECOVERY

    Finally, poststall recovery of a contaminated airplane may be complicated by gross changes in control effectiveness, airplane response characteristics, and abnormal control forces. As a result of these factors, large losses in altitude can occur during recovery. b. Accordingly ... prompt control input to decrease pitch attitude to recover lateral control, with aggressive power application ensures the most rapid recovery with minimum altitude loss. The AOA must be reduced immediately as the wing, or part of the wing is already…

  • CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING › a. Stall Avoidance Practice at Slow Airspeeds

    This loss of power will result in a VMC lower than the stall speed at higher altitudes. (VMC is the minimum control speed with the critical engine inoperative). Also, some airplanes have such an effective rudder that even ... level VMC is lower than stall speed. For these airplanes, demonstrating loss of directional control may be safely conducted by limiting rudder travel to simulate maximum rudder available. Limiting rudder travel should be accomplished well above the power-off stall…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 106. SECONDARY STALLS

    SECONDARY STALLS. If recovery from a stall is not made properly, a secondary stall or a spin may result. A secondary stall is caused by attempting to hasten the completion of a stall recovery before the aircraft has regained sufficient ... flying speed. When this stall occurs, appropriate forward pressure or the relaxation of back elevator pressure should again be performed just as in a normal stall recovery. When sufficient airspeed has been regained, the aircraft can then be returned…
