How to Do a Power Off Stall in an Airplane

Video Transcript

"What were going to do here is called an Approach to Landing Stall, or a Power off Stall. We?re going to simulate what happens when the wing is at such an angle it no longer produces lift and falls forward. Basically the airplane stops flying. Well that?s easily recoverable, we?re just going to fall feet at full power and pinch up and recover from that stall. First thing we?re going to do is reduce the throttle again count to about fifteen hundred RPM's. We?re going to let the nose fall and the pitch attitude decrease so that were in a decent. Now we?re descending about five hundred foot per minute. What that does is simulate an Approach to Landing. So we?re simulating going down to a landing or decreasing our altitude and at some point when we reach the runway, and in this case we?re simulating that, we?re going to reduce the power to idle, when we?re all the way to idle we?re going to continue to bring the back pressure. Pull back on the yolk. Increase the back pressure right up to the Horizon. We?re going to hear a stall horn. Eventually the plane will stop flying. The nose will fall. We?re going to add full power, reduce that back pressure. About 20 degrees in flaps. We?re going to go ahead and climb out of that situation. Notice the air speed is increasing. We?re actually climbing somewhat. Take four flaps down, continuing that climb. When we get to about 70 knots we?re going to bring that flaps all the way and continue to climb. Go full power. When we get to about 2300. Go ahead and pitch the nose over. Reduce that back pressure. Reduce the power. Recover to what?s called a Cruise Attitude.""
