Accelerated Stall AGL General Aviation 
Pilot Institute
JANUARY 8, 2025
Critical Angle of Attack As the AOA increases, the wing generates more lift, but only up to a specific point known as the critical angle of attack, typically around 15-20 degrees for general aviation aircraft (though this can vary depending on the wing design). You should conduct training sessions at or above 1,500 feet AGL.

It’s as close to “evasive action” as you can get while flying a general aviation aircraft. However, it is best practice to start a steep turn no lower than 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL). Do not attempt to continue the maneuver, as the risk of an accelerated stall is higher during this maneuver.
