Default Another of those unreliable AC engines stalled on approach

What are the odds that the pilot stalled the aircraft and the engine was
performing just fine? Writers often miss the fact that the word
"stalled" has an additional meaning in the aviation realm.

My thoughts exactly. What's the bet he tried to climb too steeply and
stalled it, dropped the nose as per his training, and found he wasn't as
high as he had hoped. I bet the engine was still running as he hit the
ground, and it's the journalist that's stalled.

Hmmmm... Ya think Cessna's new LSA might come with a stick pusher for
just that reason? It'd avoid a lot of bad press G
