Advanced Stalls

Well, your stalling lesson at the beginning of your training probably seems like a lifetime ago, yes? Stall recovery is such an important skill to keep sharp and develop, so it’s time to revisit stalling and also try some different stalling configurations and scenarios.

So you already know how fun and challenging stall recovery can be, so the aim of Advanced Stalls is to refresh your skills with the basic stalls, before venturing into some some advanced stall scenarios.

During your Brief, you’ll learn the following and more:

  • Refresher of the HASELL check, with emphasis on student recollection
  • Refresher on stall recovery technique with emphasis on student recollection
  • The technique for and uses of a SideSlip

Lesson Techniques

During the lesson as your proficiency increases, your Instructor will introduce Stall entry and recovery with different aircraft configurations. The configuration of the aircraft plays a big role in the stall characteristics. The following is a list of the configurations you’ll learn to recover from:

– clean configuration stalls
– flap extended stalls
– approach configuration stalls
– wing drop stalls
– climbing turning stalls
– steep turn stalls
– descending turning stalls

Don’t forget to revise the HASELL check. There will be an expectation in this lesson that you already know it and can apply it upon arriving at the training area.

Don’t forget to revise the standard stall recovery technique. Again, there will be an expectation that you remember it from previous experience.

Resources

Readings

Instructor’s Tips

  • If stalls didn’t exactly ‘click’ with you during the first lesson, don’t worry: This lesson will only move at the pace you’re ready for
  • The more times you stall the aircraft, the more confident you’ll become. Just keep trying and it’ll come together.
  • During your RPL Test, the testing officer will not remind you to do a HASELL check before stalling practice, you must remember yourself!

Questions

This section gives you an opportunity to search for information, which is a skill that will come in handy during your training. Use resources such as your text books or the Internet to answer the following questions.

  • What is the stall speed in level flight for your aircraft?
  • Does the stall speed in level flight change if the flap is extended?
  • What is the ‘standard stall recovery’ technique?
  • During a steep turn to the left, which way is the aircraft likely to roll during a stall?
  • How does the use of power and flap change the aircraft’s lateral stability?

Learning Objectives

By the end of this Briefing and Flight, you will be expected to be able to:

  • Enter and recover from various stall scenarios
  • Recall the HASELL checks from memory
  • Recall the standard stall recovery technique
