Although we call bank angle to the PF anything over 30 degrees which is where you may have got that from.
We do too, but no, I got that figure from the NZ CAA Instructors Handbook
So when you hear "sink rate" in that lovely american accent, it really should be saying "stall" right?
You can have a high sink rate without being in a stalled condition, I'm sure you have been there many times before along with myself
Sure, but in that case you haven't run out of energy. When the stick shaker goes off, THEN you have run out of energy and need to apply more coal to the boilers...
Unless of course you are in turbulence/microburst/windshear...
Power off stall recovery: "ease forward", "airspeed increasing", "raise the nose", passing the horizon "full power" and "regain lost height".
If you're in a glide and have the height, lowering the nose will of course suffice!
Exactly... first action is to reduce angle of attack. Airspeed comes after that.
Back to the crew bus matey, you're holding up the skipper
I
AM the skipper!
