Completion 1.This lesson will be complete when student has understanding of power-off stalls.
Standards 2.Student should be able to demonstrate to private PTS this maneuver.
Introduction:
What? – A stall is a loss of lift and an increase in drag occurring when an aircraft is flown at an angle of attack
greater than that for maximum lift.
Why? – We practice power-off stalls to simulate an accidental stall in the landing and approach phase.
Overview: - This lesson will cover the basic elements pertaining to Power-Off Stalls, including:
1. Aerodynamics of power-off stalls.
2. Relationships of various factors such as landing gear and flap configurations, weight, CG, load factor and
bank angle to stall speed.
3. Flight situations where unintentional power-off stalls may occur.
4. Recognition of the first indications of power-off stalls.
5. Performance of power-off stalls in climbing flight (straight or turning)
6. Entry technique and minimum entry altitude.
7. Coordination of flight controls.
8. Recovery technique and minimum recovery altitude.
DEVELOPMENT:
How?
1.) AERODYNAMICS OF POWER-OFF STALLS
A.) A stall is a loss of lift and an increase in drag occurring when an aircraft is flown at angles of attack
greater than the angle for maximum lift -- exceeding the critical angle of attack.
B.) Critical angle of attack - when the AOA is increased to approximately 18-20 degrees, the airs-stream can
no longer follow the upper curvature of the wing because of an excessive change in direction:
C.) A stall can occur at any airspeed, attitude, and power setting!
D.) Airflow begins to separate as it is forced to flow straight back and swirls as it attempts to follow the
upper wing surface.
E.) This causes a sudden increase in pressure on the upper wing surface causing a considerable loss in lift.
F.) Most wings are designed to stall at the wing root first, then out to the wing tips because the wing tip has a
lower angle of incidence than wing root.
G.) The angle of incidence keeps the ailerons effective even as the wing begins to stall.
