Task D. Accelerated Stalls

Aerodynamics associated with accelerated stalls in various airplane configurations, including the relationship between angle of attack, airspeed, load factor, power setting, airplane weight and center of gravity, airplane attitude, and yaw effects.

Stall characteristics as they relate to airplane design, and recognition impending stall and full stall indications using sight, sound, or feel.

Factors leading to an accelerated stall and preventive actions.

Fundamentals of stall recovery.

Factors and situations that could lead to an inadvertent accelerated stall, spin, and loss of control.

Range and limitations of stall warning indicators (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.).

Stall warning(s) during normal operations.

Stall recovery procedure.

Secondary stalls, cross-control stalls, and spins.

Effect of environmental elements on airplane performance related to accelerated stalls (e.g., turbulence, microbursts, and high-density altitude).

Collision hazards.

Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.
