Stalls
Aircraft stall characteristics are conventional. Power-off stalls may be
accompanied by a slight nose bobbing if full aft stick is held. Power-on stalls
are marked by a high sink rate at full aft stick. Power-off stall speeds at
maximum weight for both forward and aft CG positions are presented in
Section 5 -
Stall Speeds .
When practicing stalls at altitude, as the airspeed is slowly reduced, you will
notice a slight airframe buffet, hear the stall speed warning horn sound
between 5 and 10 knots before the stall, and see the Crew Alerting System
display a STALL Warning annunciation. Normally, the stall is marked by a
gentle nose drop and the wings can easily be held level or in the bank with
coordinated use of the ailerons and rudder. Upon stall warning in flight,
recovery is accomplished by immediately reducing back pressure to reduce
the angle of attack and to maintain safe airspeed, adding power if necessary
and rolling wings level with coordinated use of the controls.
• WARNING •
Extreme care must be taken to avoid uncoordinated, accelerated or
abused control inputs when close to the stall, especially when close to
the ground.
