In my experience, light power planes not really more susceptible to approach stalls than gliders, By approach stalls, so you mean stall on final approach? I thought that was a rare accident gliders, and that most stalls during landing occurred in the turns. but there are more distractions - including that noisy thing in the front just waiting to quit! Yet they mandate stall warnings. I don't know the reason that it's mandated, but that noisy thing up front does change things significantly. For example, under power in my motorglider, the nose attitude at 50 knots can vary from below the horizon to above the horizon; the attitude while gliding at 50 knots is constant and consistent. So, I suggest determining a safe AOA is harder in powered aircraft, and this makes a stall warning more valuable. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org |
