Stalls Cause a Loss of Lift A stall is not related to engine failure. This misunderstanding can lead to confusion and, in some cases, accidents, as some pilots concentrate on engine performance instead of addressing the actual problem, a loss of lift. Now, the wings have to produce more lift to support this weight.

Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. So, how do we increase lift to maintain altitude?

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift. The lift imbalance causes the roll. This drag imbalance amplifies the adverse yaw.

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.

This can cause you to lose lift. Remember Bernoulli’s Theorem and how lift is created. The loss of lift causes the aircraft to stall and lose altitude. The ACS states that recovery should be completed no lower than 1,500 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft and 3,000 ft AGL for multi-engine aircraft.

VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Usually that limitation is lifted as the learner gains more experience as a pilot. If the pilot does not possess an instrument rating or is out of proficiency, things can go bad rather quickly. You may even put the learner in and out of the clouds.

This creates boundary layer separation, resulting in a loss of lift. This requires rudder input to maintain directional control. Be careful because retracting the flaps causes the center of the lift to move forward. The FAA recommends that stalls should be practiced no lower than 1,500 ft AGL. What Is a Power-on Stall?
