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).

While its extremely important to understand what conditions can lead to a stall, how to recognize an impending stall, and correct recovery techniques, its not something to fear during your everyday flying. Depending on design, airfoils used in general aviation, stall at angles of attack between 16 to 18 degrees.

It’s as close to “evasive action” as you can get while flying a general aviation aircraft. Not Recovering at First Sign of Stall The ACS says that the aircraft should be recovered if it begins exhibiting signs of a stall. Steep turns should be one of the most fun maneuvers pilots learn.
