Hi M14P,

Sorry, it’s just my terminology. The ‘deepest’ stall I have done is one where the forward component of speed is very low and the nose wanders around quite a bit and wallows. The yoke must be held all the way back. In this situation it appears that the wings can be kept level by a small rudder input, but the aircraft continues to yaw. Or so it seems from the DI rotating. I certainly wouldn’t condone the abuse of rudder at low speeds or in the stall.

The baby Cessna is a very well engineered and forgiving aircraft, but as you rightly point out the controls of this aircraft are very effective throughout the speed range and sloppiness of the controls can’t really be demonstrated. There is no buffet.
I wonder if there are any trainers in which these effects can be demonstrated?

PS my instructor is a farm strip pilot of advancing years who I trust. Obviously this student needs to do some more study!
