Default Yesterday's IFR flight with questions

I wonder, if you had enough altitude after breaking out below, would it be
advisable to perform a gentle power-off stall to find out what your new stall
speed is with the ice? Or would the new stall characteristics be so
unpredictable as to make the aircraft unstable?


The latter. If your tail ices up, all bets are off. The recovery from
a tail stall is the opposite of the recovery from a wing stall (you
pull back instead of pushing forward), but good luck figuring that out
in a few seconds under high stress.


All the best,


David
