Slow Flight

Zgcbc...............

Anyway going back to the original issue it seems a good idea to
keep things simple.

We are teaching a student to fly.

We KIS - Keep it simple.

Hence Ex 10A Slow flight
Ex 10B Stalling

This is stall prevention
and stall recovery .... and thats what this thread is all about

Keep it simple and there will be no problems OK

'Standard Stall Recovery'

1 Stick centrally forward to unstall the wing
2 Full power to reduce height loss
3 Prevent/reduce wing drop if it occurs with opposite rudder
4 When all signs of the stall have ceased nose to the horizon then climb away if necessary when speed increases

1. Centrally forward to reduce chance of wing drop possibly leading to a spin but PRIMARILY TO REDUCE THE ANGLE OF ATTACK which is why you are stalling in the first place

2 Full power to reduce height loss. - student not convinced? show them a stall and don't use power to recover - amazing! the aircraft still recovers just loses more hight

3 Use the secondary effect of rudder to prevent the wing dropping further as trying to use aileron will only increase the angle o attack further and lead to further wing drop etc

4 Nose to horizon when stall has ceased
