An acceleratedstall is a stall that occurs at a higher airspeed than a 1G stall and can be caused by an aircraft making abrupt control inputs such as too much back pressure during a banked turn.
This is why an aircraft can stall at higher airspeeds during abrupt maneuvers, a situation known as an acceleratedstall. Types of Stalls So, what stall situations might you encounter while flying? These are the different types of stalls you should train for and become familiar with: 1.
Why It Matters: Reinforces proper stall recovery technique and patience, preventing a cycle of stalls at low altitude. AcceleratedStall What It Is: This stall happens at a higher-than-normal airspeed due to an increased load factor (e.g.,
AcceleratedStallsStalls caused by an increased load factor are called accelerated maneuver stalls. As it’s used, the word accelerated does not mean speeded up, but that the stall has been caused by an increased load factor during a steep turn or an abrupt pitch change.
2) Late or Rapid Roundout Starting the roundout too late or pulling the elevator control back too rapidly to prevent the airplane from touching down prematurely can impose a heavy load factor on the wing and cause an acceleratedstall.
Not Recovering at First Sign of Stall The ACS says that the aircraft should be recovered if it begins exhibiting signs of a stall. Do not attempt to continue the maneuver, as the risk of an acceleratedstall is higher during this maneuver.
This puts you at risk of an acceleratedstall. A right crosswind can cause you to turn final too soon. If you overshoot the final, do not make a steep turn or use excessive rudder to correct for it. If gentle corrections cannot get you back on centerline, go around and try again.
