Incipient can be used to describe anything leading up to a stable or oscillatory spin. In other words, there is auto-rotation but not all of the classic defining features of a spin.

As I mentioned before - one only needs to 'prevent further yaw' for as long as one is 'unstalling' the wing. The yaw/roll is present only whilst one wing is beyond the L/D peak that defines the stall (i.e. one wing is fully stalled and thus creating large amounts of drag). No stall = no wing drop.

It might also be worth mentioning secondary stalling (I've managed it in a P210 as well as YAKs etc!) which can be very 'energy state' related. This is why 540s slightly befuddled stall recovery description some pages back can be rather dangerous. Simply put (and without hogging the whole thread) some aircraft need rather more than just a quick shove on the stick and throttle before resuming normal service.

Well - anybody got any positive ideas about banishing stall/slow flight terrors? L-Plate, how's it going now?
