Maneuvering During Slow Flight
This maneuver establishes the aircraft at minimum controllable airspeed; or an airspeed just above the
stall speed in order to allow the student to feel, understand, and recognize how the airspeed, altitude,
and load factor all relate to each other. Minimum controllable airspeed is defined as the speed at which
with any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or decrease in power would result in
an imminent stall.

Power-Off Stall
This procedure enables the student to recognize the characteristics of an impending stall as well as
practice the recovery from a stall. The power off stall simulates a typical stall condition of an aircraft as it
approaches for a landing. This may be accomplished on an established heading or in a max 20° bank
turn.
