Airspeed - Understanding Stalls
Ever hear a media reporter tell you that an airplane accident involved an engine stall?\xa0 In our experience, most reporters and members of the public get this wrong.\xa0 We discuss aerodynamic stalls and explain how they have nothing at all to do with the engine.\xa0
\nDisclaimer:\xa0 Nothing in this or any other epidsode of the Airspeed podcasts is flight instruction.\xa0 You should seek the counsel and instruction of a certified flight instructor if you ever plan to experience stalls - or fly an airplane - yourself.\xa0 The descriptions in the Airspeed podcasts are general descriptions based on FAA literature and the pilot's operating handbook for several popular training aircraft.\xa0 They don't apply to all aircraft or to all circumstances.\xa0 Always consult the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations and any supplemental type certificates or other applicable data for the specific aircraft in question.
