This can cause you to lose lift. Key Takeaways Power-off stalls mimic a stall during the flight’s approach and landing phase. Remember Bernoulli’s Theorem and how lift is created. The loss of lift causes the aircraft to stall and lose altitude. On final approach, it can be the difference between recovering and crashing.

Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief. ATC then informed us we were number two for the approach and to maintain 4,000’. RNAV 24 at KCPC.

Once the fog lifted, we departed KVBT on an IFR flight plan. Louis Approach Control. Approach vectored us for the downwind for 26L. At 1,000’ AGL on mid-downwind, we could see Doc parked at the FBO. Two F/A-18 Hornets, the Blue Angels, on low approach, sped towards the runway on final. It was the Yankee Lady.

FAA weather charts can help for higher altitudes but when just a few thousand feet agl, they may be less useful. Airspeed was approaching VMO. We had been lifted above our assigned altitude.” I made a lazy turn away, lowered the nose slightly, airspeed thankfully increasing. Maintain maneuvering airspeed at all times.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. When the lift force is less than the force of gravity, the aircraft descends. So, how do we increase lift to maintain altitude? Why does this happen?

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. Feather the blades to generate lift from the upward flow of air during the descent (instead of pushing the air downwards in powered flight).

That’s why the fresh approach Cirrus took to its next model in the SR series makes a lot of sense. Stephen Yeates] A Beginner’s Mind When you must approach something from a fresh perspective, it helps to go into a beginner’s mindset. Having been the former kind, I’ve had trouble putting myself in the latter’s point of view.
