Thumbs down

In some types, the stall is benign. I mean really benign. You can float away all you like, and even someone who has never even flown an aircraft before will not get themselves in trouble as long as they keep pulling, keep balancing and have some rough kind of faith.
True. But in many types, the stall is not benign and you will get a violent downward pitching movement, probably accompanied by a wing drop and an incipient spin. One would be grossly imprudent to assume that every fixed-wing aircraft has the flying characteristics of a spam can.

Forced landing. Too high. S-Turns are fine, sideslipping is fine, but...
But what?
