Secondary stalls, accelerated stalls, and cross-control stalls.
Secondary stalls, accelerated stalls, and cross-control stalls.
Bottom line
A secondary stall may occur after any stall when the pilot does not sufficiently reduce the AOA by lowering the pitch attitude or attempts to break the stall by using power only. Failure to execute an immediate recovery from an accelerated stall may result in a spin or other departure from controlled flight. If a secondary stall occurs, the pilot should again perform the stall recovery procedures by applying nose-down elevator pressure as required to eliminate the stall warning.
