I'm sure you're correct, Bob, but my understanding is that stalls in
the circuit are a well-recognised cause of accidents? If so, it might
not be as automatic as you suggest for a novice.


With 1500 RPM and the nose below the horizon, the airplane
WILL NOT stall. :-) There are some qualifications to this
generalized statement, learn what the runway looks like on a
stabilized approach and just always put the nose in that same
position every time, it WILL NOT stall.


I think the danger time is that turn onto final - too late, therefore
too steep, student gets fixaxted on the approach and the airspeed decays
in the turn.

I mean... how many planes have stalled in that turn in history???
