Question about zero lift angle of attack

Hi,

For an average cambered wing like that found on a typical training aircraft, such as a Cessna 172, at about -4 angle of attack, the lift is zero and CL = 0.

But is it possible to achieve -4 angle of attack on a Cessna 172? If so, how to do it?

Thanks,
Issac
