That sounds like a pretty damn good explanation and thanks, as I now understand that a little better.
so to conclude STOL aircraft are near (or nearer) the stall condition (slow speed) when over the threshold and that when mixed with a gas turbine engines slower spool up time (comparison to piston) equals where the danger is...
So would it be correct to say that piston engine STOL aircraft are slightly easier to manage and suffer less in these conditions?
