airspace, cloud.
L – Look out check for other aircraft.
Progressively bring the stick back to prevent a descent and, as the aircraft
stalls, ease the stick centrally forward and simultaneously apply full power
to recover then level the wings and ease out of the dive. Practice these stalls
both in the clean and landing configuration.
Power on stalls
Practice these stalls with increasing amounts of power, bringing the stick
progressively back until the stall occurs - with higher power settings right
rudder will be required to keep the aircraft in balance (with clockwise
rotation of the propeller as viewed from the cockpit). As power is increased
there is more likelihood of a wing drop during the stall.
Recovery is always the same; ailerons neutral, stick forward, countering
any wing drop with rudder.
Warning: Power on stalls can more easily lead to a spin entry. Give
yourself plenty of recovery height. The Europa is a very clean aircraft and
will pick up speed very quickly in a dive. Power is not usually necessary to
aid in the recovery from a stall unless you don’t want to lose altitude, as on
the approach to landing.
Spinning
Intentional spinning is prohibited.
If a spin is inadvertently entered;
