****** attempting a third stall "with the wind" this time******
******that one broke easily into and with the wind****** Where did you dig up this "instructor" for the flight review? You were only along as a victim of his painful ignorance. Steady state wind has no bearing on stalls---none---zero. Karl

You were only along as a victim of his painful ignorance. Steady state wind has no bearing on stalls---none---zero. I, I gottit. If you fly with a strong tailwind, the pilot will sense the groundspeed, have an impression of a higher (mumble)speed, and instinctively pull back that much harder in an attempt to get down to "stall speed". No? No, I gottit. The problem with stalls is that you are spending too much time with limited forward visibility. With a strong headwind, you can just about hover, and aren't instinctively pushing the nose forward all the time to check for approaching mountains. Or other airplanes, doing the abovementioned tailwind stalls. No? -- David Brooks
