About Stall Psychology and Pilots

As much as I like the "dud" his post is the
most completely idiotic thing I had to read.

NUTZ. You need airspeed, it's called kinetic
energy that is needed to suck off, using the
wings (you know, those little things that
protude out the side of airplanes).

I am one instructor who strongly believes that instructors should
consider altering their approach to teaching stall to focus more
strongly on recovering angle of attack than recovering in minimum
altitude.

See KIAS, Dud, you'd last 2 minutes in the RHS
of my plane, after that you'd be lickin' pavement,
from my shoe on your ass.

Stalls entered at low altitude have many times resulted in
secondary stall entry or a mushed recovery followed by ground impact
by
pilots who COULD have lowered the nose and held it down there a bit
longer than they did, using the air under them to better advantage
and
giving themselves the needed time to regain angle of attack and
smooth
airflow as they attempted a recovery. But because they had been
taught
that ALTITUDE rather than AOA was the killer, they recovered trying
to
save altitude, when in reality what was needed was to USE THE
AVAILABLE
ALTITUDE CORRECTLY....and save the airplane.

Toward this goal, I strongly encourage all CFI's to reference AOA in
stall recovery. This doesn't mean INSTEAD of altitude, but it does
mean
that to recover the airplane, you absolutely HAVE to restore AOA, and
at
low altitude that might very well mean using available altitude to
the
last foot of air to do that.
I have always taught stall recovery both with and without power. The
FAA
requires power. I want the student to see the difference and at the
same
time be able to stress that it's the ANGLE OF ATTACK that saves your
butt. The strong lesson here is that you USE altitude......you don't
try
to minimize it at the expense of angle of attack.

Dud, you're clueless, you have not a clue about KIAS,
spiral dives or g-force recovery's. In short I see NO
evidence you have even been in an airplane with your
focus on AoA.
I can get a good AoA at 10 KIAS or 200 KIAS,
what are going to do?



Again with the bank rattling.
