The Danger of the Whipstall

[John Young]

So in the event of me practicing no-power stalls. Should I gently pull back my bar when the A/C reaches the stall curve to initiate speed and recovery?
From what I've been tought, when entering a no-power stall your angle must not exceed 45degrees and the downwards angle must as well not exceed 45 degrees.

Hi Triker,

The KEY is to "maintain the horizon angle" as being level at all times. No where near 45 degrees is required.

When your trike stalls, it will either go into a slight nose down attitude or or just "mush down" with the bar full forward. Gently apply power until the trike starts flying again. Again, when recovering, use the horizon as a reference to guide your bar inputs.

This is a safe maneuver provided you consciously apply your HASSEL checks.

There is a fairly long write up in the FAA website on whipstalls & tumbles (www.FAA.gov/library/Manuals) weightshift. Its a big file all about trikes but well worth the download if you have the linespeed/patience.
