Ex 10b. Stalling

Aim: To recognise and enter a fully-developed stall from various modes of flight both straight and turning, and then to recover with minimum height-loss to a safe flight mode. Also to recover to a safe flight mode at the incipient stall stage.

Airmanship:
  • Special attention to lookout - clearing turn to check rear
  • Checks to ensure safe operation through exercise ie: height/location etc
Principles and characteristics at the stall:
  • Effectiveness of controls
  • Inherent stability of aircraft at stall eg. Washout
  • Buffet and other indications eg. Severe rearward bar pressure on weight-shift aircraft
  • Wing dropping tendencies and correct handling of controls ie. dangers of using roll control to level wings at the point of stall.
Factors affecting the stalling speed:
  • Flaps (if applicable)
  • Power
  • Weight
  • Load factor ie. centrifugal force in steep turns
Full Stall and recovery; (from straight flight - level, climbing and descending)
  • Use of controls
  • Use of power (Recovery with and without the use of power)
Full Stall and recovery; (from turning flight - 30* angle of bank - level, climbing and descending):
  • Use of controls
  • Use of power (recovery with and without the use of power)
Stall and recovery at the incipient stage:
  • Recovery during various attitudes and configurations
  • Recovery during changing configurations
Stalling at higher speed:
  • Secondary stall
  • 'g' stall
