I'm not on Usenet to make friends with anyone. That motivation ceased
years ago with the first post I got telling me that my family should die
in a crash because I told some ****ing idiot that stall was more related
to angle of attack more than to airspeed.


More? Isn't it completely related to AOA rather than airspeed?

Matt


Stall is directly related to angle of attack (CLmax).
It is also peripherally related to airspeed in that stall can be achieved at
various airspeeds under acceleration.
It's important that pilots understand a COMPLETE concept of stall and not
simply relate it to one single factor.
