p29:
An airplane wing can be stalled Any airspeed, any altitude, any attitude
Pilot Tip:
If the angle of attack is greater than the stall angle, the surface will stall. Attitude has no relationship to the aerodynamic stall. Even if the airplane is in a descent with what appears like ample airspeed - the surface can be stalled.
Understand the difference between:
“Approach” to stall recovery
Stall recovery
Dramatic difference in recovery technique

High altitude - stalls
- Low speed buffet mistaken for high speed buffet
- Actual full “Stall Recovery”
- Higher altitudes:
- Available thrust is insufficient
- Reduce the angle of attack
- Trade altitude for airspeed.
Could all the pilots on Earth, read that.
