"Stable stall"
Christiaan J #1454
Perhaps it was having TOGA from engines mounted under the wings that made the stall so stable. I have tried to think what the effect might have been with DOUBLE the thrust actually available... Ultimately a tail-slide ? (NOT TO BE ENCOURAGED...)
The twin-engined Airspeed Oxford/Consul was nearly cleared for spin training - but could not be cleared throughout its C of G range. My flying instructor demonstrated a barrel roll with two pupils aboard, instead.
Within a short time under the hood of a Link Trainer, most of us had stalled and spun and learned to recover on instruments. An Engineering expression of that era was encouraging" Non Destructive Testing". Our failures were not lethal.
