Suppose you are in the final quarter of a loop maneuver, looking at the
ground. Your speed is high and you are pulling back hard to bring the
plane back to level. Can that result in a stall?
By "level" I assume you mean no longer losing altitude. There are lots
of videos on the web of people mushing into the ground at the bottom of a
loop.
The nose is often pointed up ( a bit). But they're well stalled and
still
descending. You can stall at any speed. (Up until the point where you
tear the wings off.)
Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted to know. Many pilots tell me
things like, "You can't stall when you're going fast." They're wrong!
And here's one the really cook your noodle: at zero-G a wing wont stall.
Think about it.
