What
Recognize and recover from a stall in the Takeoff / Departure configuration.
How
Pre-maneuver Checklist
ABCDE Checklist
A - Altitude Above 1500ft AGL
B - Best place to land
C - Clearing turns
Checklist
- Seat belts…adjust
- Fuel valve…on
- Circuit Breakers…all in
- Mixture…Rich
- Carb heat…Off
- Lights…BCN and LDN on
- Magnetos…Both
- Master…On
- Instruments…in green
D - Declare position and intentions to Practice Area
FRQ name, Who, Where, Altitude, doing What, FRQ name.
- WPA Traffic, C-14SK, 4NM south of Turning Tree, 6000ft, (Name of the maneuver), WPA.
E - Execute the maneuver
Entry
- Visually line up on a ground reference in straight and level flight
- Carb heat ON
- Power to 1500 RPM and back pressure to keep altitude
- At 60 knots, carb heat off
- At 55 knots, Full power
- Back pressure an pitch for a climb attitude (simulating and overcontrolled take off)
- Keep the nose straight to the reference with the rudders (0 ailerons)
- Wait for the stall and keep the nose straight with rudders (0 ailerons)
- When the stall happens…
Recovery
- Lower the nose to the horizon
- Carb heat off & Full power (at the same time)
- Vx (54 knots)
- Positive rate & altimeter increasing
- Vy (67 knots)
- Positive rate & altimeter increasing
- Cruise checklist
- Pitch
- Power
- Trim
- Mixture
- Landing light off
- Instruments in green
Characteristics
- Nose high attitude
- Aileron controls are sluggish or poor
- Lots of yaw
- Stall horn (Approaching stall speed)
- Rudder to control yaw
Common Errors
- Adding power too slowly or too quickly
- Not maintaining pitch control (gain or lose altitude)
- Allowing the aircraft to yaw (uncoordinated)
- Not returning to altitude
- Not pitch and climb at Vx or Vy
