ps stick hard back = stall

pps Stall = loss of lift
ppps Stall = AOA relative to the airflow

Think about the AOA on the ground basically the rigging angle of the particular airframe and if we consider something such as a 150 she needs to achieve 16 degrees to stall, sooooooo logically thinking, she'll go nose up with a stiff breeze, leap into the air, stall once exceeding the 16 AOA and plunge to the ground once gravity exceeds the lift being produced.
