Stall recovery requires lowering the nose, leveling wings, and adding power. Every pilot must master stall recognition and recovery techniques. Stalls can happen at low or high airspeeds and in any flight attitude. Stalls Cause a Loss of Lift A stall is not related to engine failure.

A smaller bank angle will result in more lift, while an increased bank angle will reduce the lift. As an aircraft banks, lift is divided into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component of lift causes the aircraft to turn. Combining both components of lift, the total lift required increases.

Your ailerons and rudder will be neutral once you’re in the crab position. We use the rudder to align the aircraft’s longitudinal axis with the centerline. Simultaneously, we apply ailerons opposite the rudder input. The pilot needs to hold aileron and rudder deflection the entire time.
