Have I missed something?
While observing a newly approved FIC instructor making a demo of a stalling brief to a student yesterday, I heard the folowing pearl of wisdom;
This aircraft stalls power off at 50Kt.
In the climb at full power it will stall at 55Kt.
This aircraft runs out of elevator authority at 60Kt and the nose will always drop.
I have no problem with the first statement.
However, if the 1g power off stall is 50Kt how can the stall speed with full power and 1g be higher?
Secondly, if there is not enough elevator authority to hold the nose up (maintain 1g) below 60Kt with the power off then how can one claim to demonstrate a power off 1 g stall at 50Kt?
Have I missed something over the years or are we about to get a rash of instructors who will be teaching utter rubbish?
