I briefly read about a Mistral crash involving a suspected stall and possible spin a few years ago, but I didn't actually pick up on what the "slightly exciting stalling characteristics" are. I also noticed the very low Vne, only 5 knots faster than Vno according to what it says on Wikipedia and slower than the normal cruise speed of the PA28s I learned to fly in!
With regards to the logbook query, would you be able to direct me to the official documentation on this issue? I trawled through various CAA publications, to no avail.
