Fundamentals of stall recovery.
Fundamentals of stall recovery.
Bottom line
Following a reduction in the AOA and the stall warning being eliminated, the wings should be rolled level and power added as needed. Losing altitude during recovery from a stall is to be expected.
Key numbers
| Number | What it means |
|---|---|
| 3,000 feet AGL minimum recovery altitude for multiengine stall practice, or higher if recommended by the AFM/POH | Practice floor |
| not to exceed 2 or 2.5 Gs when diving only to cruising or design maneuvering airspeed with a gradual pull up | Recovery G |
| approximately 65 percent of maximum available power for power-on approach to stall when no setting is recommended | Power setting |
| up to 20 degrees of bank for power-on approach to stall practice turns | Bank limit |
