erm, minor point but...


...that *is* how a professional would explain it to the local milkman, the local car mechanic, truck drivers, farmers, labourers, chinese & vietnamese cadets with minimal english language skills, doctors, lawyers etc. Namely me! I spent 10 years instructing at all levels from aeroclub to airline cadets. I also used to teach basic aerobatics & do licence tests.

My students didn't get to a stalling lesson without comprehending that exceeding the Crit AoA is the primary problem. Ergo, pitch to correct the problem. One goal (as an instructor) is to minimise the verbiage the poor bloody student has to attend while at, near or over their capacity. Hence 'Pitch to fix' as a short-hand (er...-speak).


cheers
