Effect of G-Load
©2014 Mastery Flight Training, Inc.
Bank Angle During Descent
• LITTLE to NO increase in G-load
Therefore…
• LITTLE to NO increase in stall speed

To make an airplane stall,you (or the autopilot or the trim)
must actively resist the airplane’s tendency to descend.

My CFI Experience• A36 pilot very nervous about stalls• Told him we’d just slow the plane down and
see how it handles

Pre-Stall Indications
• Pulling on the yoke

Pre-Stall Indications
• Pulling on the yoke• Right rudder to maintain heading

Release the back pressure to reduce the AoA

Angle of Attack Indicators
• Sense and display actual AoA
• Automatically account for changes in airplane weight
• More visual display of maximum-performance “speeds”

• Slower than “normal” speeds• Individually calibrated: no consistency from
one airplane to the next• Single sensor: only accurate in coordinated
flight• No consistent training standard

The Truth About Stalls
• The airplane will not stall unless you (or the trim) are actively increasing back pressure on the elevators

The Truth About Stalls
• The airplane will not stall unless you (or the trim) are actively increasing back pressure on the elevators
• Banking when under G-load increases the speed at which the wing reaches critical AoA

The Truth About Stalls
• The more flap, the more dynamic the stall
©2014 Mastery Flight Training, Inc.
The Truth About Stalls
• The more flap, the more dynamic the stall• A mush is as bad as a stall
©2014 Mastery Flight Training, Inc.
The Truth About Stalls
• The more flap, the more dynamic the stall• A mush is as bad as a stall• Uncoordinated flight increases the AoA on
the low wing, and may not provide stall warning or AoA indications

The Truth About Stalls
• Power ON stall crashes outnumber power OFF crashes THREE to ONE

The Truth About Stalls
• Power ON stall crashes outnumber power OFF crashes THREE to ONE
• 55% of all stalls happen on takeoff, go around or missed approach
• 20% of stalls occur during a loss of engine power—many of those fuel management-related
©2014 Mastery Flight Training, Inc.
Mitigations
• Fuel• Be prepared so sensations are instinctive
if an engine quits• Regular practice on stalls and high AoA• Density altitude• Pitch attitudes• Trim for the missed
