Tingtang:

For my CPL test in the DA42, the stalls I had to perform were:

1. Clean stall - Maintaining altitude with power at idle, entering a full stall, then recovering with minimum height loss.

2. Approach Stall/Base-to-final Stall - Approach flaps and gear down, start a 180 degree level turn, then once half way through the turn reduce power to aprx. 25%, and recover at the first sign of the approaching stall (which 99% of the time is the stall warner beeping).

3. Finals Stall - Set up with approach flap and gear down, perform a lookout turn, once the turn is complete select normal power for final approach with normal rate of descent, and select landing flap. Once flap is fully lowered, select aprx. 25% power, and reduce the rate of descent. Recover at the first sign of the approaching stall.


Some of the other GH was medium turns/steep turns, followed by limited panel (which is just the pfd covered up) where I did compass turns and unusual attitude recoveries. And of course all the one-engine-inop stuff.

Hope that's helpful.

Hi Davedek

That was very useful so thanks. In FAA land they only practice the power off stall (basically final approach config to land) and power on stall (take off config stall with gear up).
