Thanks, Pilk, a great read about flying.
@ Detent.....
You can stall or "depart" at many speeds depending on your ride. Right? So I guess that is what you are getting at.
Biggest lesson I learned was use of aileron at high AoA could have a bad outcome due to adverse yaw or other gremlins. Also learned that wing rock and hard burble was not a good thing.
I always helped my students get to the stall/departure boundary in a disciplined manner so they could "feel" things. Some never could, and others flew like Yeager, heh heh.
