zzuf,

I agree with what you have said and with respect to your reference to my last sentence:
Remember that it is pitch attitude that determines the deceleration rate, not normal acceleration.
I fear that in trying to be brief I have been ambiguous.

The instantaneous deceleration rate is a function of pitch attitude (which determines the longitudinal axis component of weight) but to keep longitudinal deceleration constant the pitch attitude must be increased at an increasing rate which, de facto, requires increasing normal acceleration. In practice, each pilot will develop a technique and scan pattern to achieve what is required to fly the test as it is required for certification. I use pitch attitude and decel rate and the required g increase then occurs.

megan,

Thanks for the steer to the stall data in Section IV.
