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!
