Accelerated Stalls

Whiteboard

Recognize and react to conditions of an accelerated stall.

Develop awareness of stalls at any attitude.

  1. Steep turns
  2. Lift
  3. AoA: Cruise vs turn
  4. Stall speed increase
  5. Stalls happen quickly
  6. Coordination
  7. Accelerated stall scenarios
  1. Pre-maneuver checklist
  2. Altitude for recovery >3000' AGL
  3. Slow to ~75 knots
  4. Roll into coordinated 45° bank turn
  5. Apply back pressure
  6. At stall indication, recover
  7. Relax back pressure, takeoff power
  8. Remove bank
  9. Accelerate, nose just above horizon
  10. Establish VX or VY climb
  • Accelerate stall scenarios
  • Stalls/spins
  • Secondary stalls
  • Cross-control stalls
  • Premature recovery
  • Fixation on airspeed indicator or ball
  • Inadequate coordination in turn
  • Non-constant bank angle
  • Secondary stall
  • Negative load factor in recovery
  • ~45° bank
  • ≤VA
  • Recover at first indication of stall
  • Recovery climb at VX or VY
