Information

is
a stall and spin. Stall demonstrations and
practice are a means for a pilot to acquire the skills
to recognize when a stall
is
about to occur and to
recover as soon as the first signs
of
a stall are
evident.

is important to remember however, that a
stall can occur
in
any flight attitude, at any airspeed,
if controls are misused.
Unless
your
aircraft
has
been
specifically
certificated
in
the aerobatic category and specifically
tested
for
spin
recovery
characteristics,
it is
placarded against intentional spins. The pilot
of
an
airplane placarded against intentional spins should
assume that the airplane may become uncontrollable
in a spin, since its performance characteristics.
beyond
certain
limits
specified
in
the
FAA
regulations may not have been tested and are
unknown. This
is
why
aircraft are placarded against
intentional spins, and this
is
why stall avoidance
is
your protection against an inadvertent spin.
Pilots are taught that intentional spins are entered
by
deliberately inducing a yawing movement with the
controls as the aircraft
is
stalled. Inadvertent spins
result from the same combination - stall plus yaw.
Thal
is
why
it
is
important
to
use
coordinated
controls and to recover at the first indication of a
stall when practicing stalls.
