Wing Stall versus Tail Stall
I was at a recent safety seminar for GA aircraft concerning flight into icing conditions. They talked about ice build up can cause the wing to stall or the tail to stall.
The recovery technique for the tail stall (pull back on the yoke) is opposite from a wing stall (push forward on the yoke).
Do you think MS flight simulator can duplicate this?
In both cases the nose pitches down, my question is how would you know what kind of a stall you are in?
Which leads to another question, what if the wing and tail stall at the same time?
