Default Another of those unreliable AC engines stalled on approach

Why should we have to change our use of the term? I think the new term for an
engine stall should be an engine shutdown, and stall should relate only to
loss of lift over a wing or other airfoil.

You're right, that should be easy to do. Just a few kazillion people
to retrain

If I see another movie where the engines stall, and the airplane starts
screaming down at high speed to the ground while the pilots valiantly
pull back on the yokes with all their might, I'm gonna choke.

I once suggested that AOPA sponsor a "young reporters" day each year,
to get all the local news types up in the air. I believe someone said
that was tried?
