How is the load factor less than 1g at VSmin?
Going through the A320 FCOM, I read airbus saying that ' for a conventional aircraft, the reference stall speed, VSmin, is based on a load factor that is less than 1g.' I am confused how is this possible? stalling speed is minimum flight speed and it would ensure sufficient lift for a given weight unless we are manoeuvring the aircraft. After the stall speed, yes, the load factor is less than 1, till the time stall recovery is made.
