Glider-Configuration
Stall speed
depends on flap-setting and actual weight and may occur in
unaccelerated level-flight below 52 kts / 96 km/h (worst for flaps set to CRUISE
at maximum weight). Stalls will occur
in turns
at higher speeds depending on g-
force. In soaring-flight an
aerodynamic buffeting
warns against the stall.
If the angle-of-attack is increased while aerodynamic buffeting occurs – or if a
turn is then flown – a wing-drop may occur. Depending on the CG-position,
afterwards the A/C may spin.
Stall Recovery in glider configuration:
1.
Elevator
RELEASE back-pressure,
PUSH forward.
2.
Air-speed
WAIT for increase.
3.
Attitude
CORRECT to normal flight
attitude.
Warning:
When recovering from a stall in horizontal flight, an
altitude-
loss
of
100 ft / 30 m
is possible. In
turning flight
, an
altitude-loss
of
130 ft / 40 m
is possible. If the pilot
reactions are
delayed
, the
altitude-loss
may be more than
200ft / 60 m
.
