Inadvertent slow flight and flight with a stall warning, which could lead to loss of control.
Bottom line
The real danger is inadvertent stalls induced by distractions during routine flight situations, not the intentional practice of stalls and spins. During slow flight, any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power will result in a stall warning, such as aircraft buffet or the stall horn. In slow flight there is a degraded response to control inputs and it is more difficult to maintain a selected altitude.
