Written by Jack on May 31st, 2008
The #1 Flight Sim Game
'Real-Life' Flying With 120+ Aircraft & 20,000 Real World Airports!
Objective: To familiarize the student with the conditions that produce stalls. To assist in recognizing an approaching stall. To develop a habit in the student of taking prompt, preventive or corrective action. To better prepare the student to deal with stalls during takeoff and climbout.
Content: Before Flight:

  • What is a stall?
  • When can a stall occur?
  • What do power-on/power-off/turning stalls simulate?
  • Wing washout
  • Warnings before a stall occurs:
  • Visual
  • Aural
  • Feel
  • Stall warning devices
  • Steps to stall recovery:
  • Release back elevator pressure or apply forward pressure
  • Advance throttle
  • Regain straight and level flight using all controls
  • Aileron/rudder control should be used with care
  • Recovery should be completed no lower than 1,500 feet AGL during practice

During Flight:

  • Instructor demonstrates all stalls first
  • Student performs imminent stalls only at first
  • When performing full stalls the airplane must be stalled in different attitudes so the student doesn’t think a stall can only occur in nose-high attitudes
  • Student recovers from full stalls at first without the use of power to better understand the effect of power in later stall recovery attempts

See AFH C. 4-3 to 4-12
Completion Standards: The lesson is complete when the student is able to perform power-on stalls to the satisfaction of the instructor and in accordance with the current Practical Test Standards for the student’s stage of training.
