Come on people, in what lesson did your instructor teach you how to stall descend and
"float" down onto something soft
.

Well.......??????

So why do some of you think it's all right to do it once you've got a PPL.

Do not deliberately stall the aircraft if you cannot recover by 3000' agl

Stalling greatly increases the risk of inducing a spin fact. You can lose height very rapidly in a spin say 1000 ft in 10-15 secs. fact. If you stall close to the ground and spin as a consequence, you will, in all probability die in the wreckage.

And stop being so childish, I've seen a lot worse than whatunion on these boards in my time, leave the sniping out, you're only lowering yourselves to the level at which you perceive he is at!
