I can't stand this mindless stupidity any longer.

aircraft don't just magically get built. They are designed to a standard that encapsulates knowledge about the strengths that aircraft need to be built to.
The american FAR23 is the most used standard.
there are categories of design that basically reflect the expected strengths needed in a design.
Normal, Utility, Aerobatic.

if you try to do aerobatics in a normal category aircraft you risk structurally overloading it.
the regs about aerobatic manouvers are basically saying that you shouldn't over stress the aircraft.
a stall is not an aerobatic manoeuvre. just about any aircraft can be stalled.
it doesn't significantly load up an aircraft.
Normal Category aircraft can all be stalled.

the whole tenor of questions like "what regulation allows me to...." are generally stupid because regulations are not about permitting but about preventing. ....disasters.

gawd I wonder about you guys some times. is it the water ???
