Recently, Jose posted:
None of the a/c flown by most of us can be 'flown' while stalled no matter how much engine power is applied. Then what am I doing when I practice stalls at altitude, holding the aircraft at the stall buffet? You're holding the aircraft at just above the stall speed. When you're stalled, you're falling, not flying. What I thought you were describing in your earlier post was there is adequate power to remain in flight strictly on the engine alone. Think F-18, not C-172. ;-) I don't reccomend this, but put it out since it would not be impossible to do, and would result in a full stall greaser if all conditions were right. What you seem to describing now is one where you reach stall speed at exactly the point where your wheels touch down. What's the point in that, when you can grease it on at 2-3 kts above stall without the risk of being wrong and dropping, or hitting a gust and being lifted a few feet and *then* dropping because you don't have the airspeed to fly?
