Mastering Stalls: How to Recognize, Prevent, and Recover Safely

Flight Training Central

A wing will always stall at the same angle of attack; however, weight, and bank angle, power setting and load factor may change the speed or the pitch attitude at which the airplane stalls. The test standards divide stalls into power off and power on. This attitude should not be more than the normal climb attitude.

What is a Stall? – When Wings Stop Working

Pilot Institute

Do you know what causes aerodynamic stalls and how to prevent them? Let’s break it down: An aerodynamic stall occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack. This can happen to any airplane type. Understanding the mechanics of wings is key to overcoming stalls successfully. What Is a Stall in Aviation?

Mastering Crosswind Landings (A Step-by-Step Guide)

Pilot Institute

Landing an airplane is not easy, even for experienced pilots. This puts you at risk of an accelerated stall. The control surfaces become less effective when the airplane slows during the roundout. A bounce or skip is likely if the aircraft lands while the wing is generating significant lift.
