Hi all,

Jack stall is certainly as a result of an abrupt control input, intentional or otherwise, but as can be seen it can have a bad outcome if close to the deck.

Turbulence and low level manoevring bring it on, especially with rolls close to ridge lines and strong wind. The old bird avoidance has brought it on to.

Yes I have been there, and no I am not an idiot...........the reason, show the student so he can recognise, recover and avoid being there in the first place. Ignorance is no excuse for a death if you can prevent it.

IMHO opion if you know what where and when it makes you more appreciative of it's dangers. It is benign to recover as the load is what induced it, remove the load and the problem goes away.

To add fuel to fire of "doing things that are stupid" it is similar to demonstrating (incipient) vortex ring really. Another danger to be fully cognisant of..............

I'll watch the flak after that comment.....
