Full Stall Landing?

However, loosely speaking, I suppose you would say that the
airflow is just beginning to depart at the stall.
But *precisely* speaking, the airplane stops flying at the moment of
a "full stall" landing.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by "stops flying." I
don't stop "flying" until I climb out of the cockpit.
Read it again. Notice I didn't say anything about *you*. I said the
*airplane* stops flying. In plain English, is it now supported by its
landing gear, not its wings.
The fact that a crosswind gust may tip it over is irrelevant. That
happens to semi's, too, on the Interstates.
