practice something else, not quite as fun as steep turns, so I pulled
the carb heat, and the throttle, and raised the nose for a few practice
stalls. She slowed nicely, and got sloppy, then the stall horn scremed
at me. I pushed the nose down slightly, and watched the airspeed climb
to around 55kts, then slowly reintroduced the throttle, and levelled
her out. Nicely done.
Hi Oz
We have to actually stall the aircraft in various configs. In all cases
I've been taught to check forward positively and then go to full power
to get airspeed and pitch back up ASAP. Of course you need to put in
rudder at the same time to control a potential wing drop developing. Now
I know you did not stall just when the horn went off, but a weak
response in a real stall could fail the PPL (I've been told). Is this a
microlight difference? Do you do wing drop stalls?
