See George's post. Your modified statement is still incorrect. Wow, thanks for adding so much to the conversation. |

Bill Denton wrote: Well, from what I understand, the generally accepted aviation definition of a "stall" is when a lifting portion of the aircraft is no longer lifting. No, the definition of an aerodynamic stall is when the airflow passing over the upper surface of the wing separates from it and produces a burble. Lift is certainly reduced when this occurs, but the absence of lift by itself is not the definition of a stall.

om... Wow, thanks for adding so much to the conversation. You're welcome, and thank YOU very much for the same. At least I have *some* posts in this thread with actual content. Too bad you can't say the same. |

So CFI's get to do stuff that we can not do without them. With no chutes, CFI's and students, and others all splat the same. Just a comment. And a valid one. CFI's are presumed to have a high level of skill and judgment, and thus it is assumed that an adequate level of safety will be maintained even without parachutes. The presumption is wrong. Holding a CFI ticket only proves an ability to jump through some FAA hoops. Because of this, spin training accidents killed more people than inadvertent spins back when spin training was required for all pilots. The solution SHOULD have been a higher level of spin qualification for CFI's, both so the accidents in training would not happen and so the people teaching spins actually knew what they were teaching. The solution WAS to stop requiring spin training. Michael |

"Gary Drescher" wrote in message ... Are there Cherokees that permit intentional spins? The Arrow and Warrior POHs prohibit them. Yes. It depends on the year and equipment configuration. Most -140s are approved for intentional spins in the Utility category. Please have a look at what the FAA officially says about spinning a Cherokee. Specifically the 140 model. http://www.faa.gov/certification/air.../ACE-97-02.htm I took my spin training in a Cherokee 140 and we had a difficult time keeping it held in a spin, simply letting up a little on the rudder pedal would exit the spin. We were probably a little too low on the weight and forward on the CG to get a clearly defined spin going, and neither I nor my instructor had the balls to want to try "aggravating" the spin with ailerons or added power. Simply letting go of all the controls and the little plane would straighten up and begin flying again, but the airspeed does climb quite disturbingly briskly when the nose is pointed straight down and the wing starts flying again. Recovering out of the dive frightened me more than the spin itself. Reading the FAA's SAIB at the URL above, seems to suggest that a 140 can wrap up in a really tight and scary rapid spin, but we were only able to to get a really mushy, slow spin going. And before anyone flames me about it, yes we both were wearing chutes and we looked and felt really dorky wearing the "acro chutes" in a Cherokee. In retrospect, if something had gone so badly wrong that we would have needed the chutes, we probably both could not have been able to egress a tumbling, plummeting Cherokee thru it's single door anyway. |

OK OK... What I meant was, every normal landing (other than short field techniques) would involve a stall. I guess I have to be more careful in my choice of words :-) I was really astonished, the first time I landed as a passenger in a small plane, to be told by the pilot that the horn that blared just before touchdown was a stall warning. I assumed the pilot had made a mistake (in his landing technique, not in his explanation for the horn)! all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |

They fly gently on to the runway and then the lift is killed by lowering the nose. The lift is reduced but the angle of attack for a stall is not reached. -- David CL Francis |

You guys are challenging my understanding of landings :-)
The landing technique, as taught by many before us, is to progressively increase elevator deflection to maintain zero vertical speed. I suppose it is possible that you can reach max elevator without reaching critical AOA. But I think that is unlikely, because that would mean you will never be able to perform power-off stalls in level unaccelerated flight. "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ...
