"ease forward" rather than push down or forward.

"reduce angle of attack" — reinforce the concept, not just the action.

Demonstration-Performance

For the sequence of each activity, choose whether you use:

• Demonstration-Performance: Explain, Demonstrate, Performance and Monitor, Evaluation
• DDM: Demonstrate, Direct, Monitor
  or some other preference. Each in-flight activity just describes the sequence to be demonstrated and performed, regardless of the method you use.

Before starting the plane

• Confirm HASELL will be called before every stalling exercise

After departing / established in the climb

• During transit to the training area, climb to established safe height for recovery by 3000 ft AGL
• Brief the slow flight coming up: "We'll slow the aircraft down to approach speed and just above the stall — you'll feel the controls become mushy. That's normal."

Slow flight at approach speed (flaps retracted)

Sequence

• Note control effectiveness at normal cruise
• Configure aeroplane for slow cruise - 10kt above stall
• maintain level slow cruise with power and attitude
• Note the control effectiveness at slow cruise
• Recover normal cruise
  • power up,
  • balance with rudder,
  • attitude and trim

Slow flight — approach configuration (flaps extended)

Sequence

• Configure aeroplane for slow cruise, check speed and extend flaps
• maintain level slow cruise (10 knots above stall) with power and attitude
• Note the control effectiveness at slow cruise
• Recover normal cruise
  • power up,
  • balance with rudder,
  • retract flaps when sufficient speed
  • attitude and trim

Stall from straight and level — recovery without power

Sequence - 200-300 ft loss of altitude

• HASELL - include carb heat check
• Power to idle, carb heat
• Maintain height with elevator, balance with rudder, ailerons neutral
• Note stall symptoms: airspeed sound, stall warning, shuddering, high nose
• Check attitude indicator
• When nose drops - Recover:
  • Ease nose forward, lower angle of attack
  • Prevent yaw and roll with rudder,
  • At safe speed, level wings with aileron
  • Once in a normal glide, full power, carb heat cold and regain altitude

Stall from straight and level — recovery with full power

Sequence - Approx 50 ft loss of altitude

• HASELL - include carb heat check
• Power to idle, carb heat
• Maintain height with elevator, balance with rudder, ailerons neutral
• Note stall symptoms: airspeed sound, stall warning, shuddering, high nose
• Check attitude indicator
• When nose drops - Recover:
  • Ease nose further forward to lower angle of attack
  • Apply full power smoothly, carb heat cold
  • Prevent yaw and roll with rudder,
  • At safe speed, level wings with aileron
  • Raise nose to attain level flight again then climb to regain as necessary.

Stall from approach configuration (landing config stall)

Sequence

• Configure aeroplane for slow cruise - flaps extended
• HASELL - include carb heat check
• Power to idle, carb heat
• Maintain height with elevator, balance with rudder, ailerons neutral
• Note stall symptoms: airspeed sound, stall warning, shuddering, high nose
• Note lower nose attitude due to flaps
• When nose drops - Recover:
  • Ease nose further forward to lower angle of attack
  • Apply full power smoothly, carb heat cold
  • Prevent yaw and roll with rudder,
  • At safe speed, level wings with aileron
  • Raise nose to attain level flight again, retract flaps and climb to regain as necessary.

Wing drop / spin avoidance — instructor demonstration only

Sequence

• HASELL - include carb heat check
• Power to idle, carb heat
• Maintain height with elevator, balance with rudder, ailerons neutral
• Note stall symptoms: airspeed sound, stall warning, shuddering, high nose
• Apply rudder to see wing drop during stall (check aircraft manual)
• Recovery
  • Power - ensure idle
  • Ailerons - ensure neutral
  • Rudder - opposite turn
  • Elevator - nose forward to unstall wings and establish normal flight
• Slowly ease out of the dive that follows
• When beginning to climb apply power, set carb heat cold
