| Beginning flight students learn that a stall is when the angle of attack exceeds the critical angle for the airfoil, and results in substantial loss of lift. During flight training, stall practice and stall recovery techniques are taught early, and pilots learn they are something to avoid at all costs. This is a good thing. But there’s so much more to be learned from stall and stall recovery training, it is worth a deeper look.
SCFC former Chief Pilot Dan Dyer is passionate about safe and effective early flight training and often stresses the critical role that the first few flights play in establishing overall pilot competency. In his work training new flight instructors, Dan approaches the stall training section of the private pilot syllabus in a different way, with a deeper look at the How and Why of stall recovery practice. This emphasis on the purpose of stall training and the critical learning elements is as valuable to new pilots as it is to new flight instructors. Dan often approaches fundamental skills in a unique way that challenges pilots to improve their understanding and their skills. This presentation, while valuable to new students, is equally informative for existing pilots as it will challenge their understanding of aircraft control and stability. Join us for this deeper look at this fundamental flight skill. |
