Power Off Stalls Made EASY!

Ho to Perform a Power Off Stall. You must KNOW how to perform STALLS to become a pilot. Power off stalls are very important for new pilots to learn, and you have to be proficient at recovering from stalls to become a pilot. In this video, I show you step by step how to perform a power off stall and how to recover properly as well as what you need to know from the Airmen Certification Standards! This is an important maneuver that you will need to know to become a pilot. This information will help you study for the Private Pilot practical exam (your check ride). This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

For anyone wanting more details on WHY we briefly pitch the aircraft down to the airplanes landing speed, it’s because the Airmen Certification Standards state that we must establish a stabilized descent before performing the maneuver. I didn’t use that exact terminology in the video, but That was the intent. Be sure to check out the Airmen Certification Standards for the details on all your maneuvers. They are free to download from the FAAs website

Early on during my training, my most common mistake during recovery is underestimating the left turning tendency after going full throttle. The first few times my CFI would joke that, "You just crashed into the tower because you drifted left!" I had to get it into my head that I should expect the left yaw and preempt it with the right rudder during my rollout. And, of course, keep an eye on the heading.

Always check all parts of the plane on the pre flight - including the nut that connects the yoke to the seat.

In Canada, recovery is relax back pressure to cruise or just under cruise attitude, then full power. Not sure why you would full power first.

This guy is amazing. Great instructions and simplicity.

Nice video, it brings me back to my flying days (got PPL but only have 145 hrs, all around 50 years ago.). I would add one thing, based on an experience that I had while checking out a rental AA1 Yankee.
I would add this: Have a rough idea how a plane stalls (and how you handle its stall) before assuming a small altitude loss, like 300 ft. I learned about the AA1 on my initial pre-rental check ride. The instructor told me to go to 5, 000 ft AGL and I think he was learning along with me (gotta learn sometime!). Anyway, first power on stall I lowered the nose to below the horizon and probably lost 500+ feet. He said to try it again, but lower the nose to the horizon and let it accelerate out level. I had the ball centered, and it looked like it might work. About 3 seconds of S&L, then the left wing stalled and we were in a spin (and I had virtually no actual spin experience). We both did the right things, but it still took 1, 500 feet to recover. I flew it 3 more times, just for its visibilty and fun handling, but climb outs and landings were all very cautious. It was certainly a far cry from the usual forgiving C-150, C-172, or Cherokee. Perhaps a few stalls in a less forgiving plane would help a student gain perspective- as a private pilot it sure got my attention! (PS- my primary instructor forced a C-150 into a spin, interesting but very docile.)

Thank you for this video! I love how you break it down in writing.

[FrankPico]

Thanks, always useful refresh information.

[indus]

Thanks for making these. I find them extremely useful. How does one maintain the heading within the ACS required 10 degrees? Is it purely by rudder? Would be great if you could make a video showing how to nail it.

[brianberezowski]

WOW .. another AWESOME video. THANK YOU for sharing your experience and knowledge.👍🇨🇦👍CYQT.😊

[rinzler]

One caution here - although this is the standard FAA guidline - students should be mindful if you fall into a spin, adding power will cause an AGGREVATED SPIN. This is really just skipping the first parts of a spin to the pullout stage (the spin never happens) - but in reality, its a stall, throttle idle, ailerons neutral, correct with rudder (in this scenario, these first steps happen in an instant), elevator forward and power.

Friends, in a stall the first thing to do is reduce aoa, after that increase power as needed.

These videos, especially this one make me want to get into lessions ASAP but I'm going to do my ground work all first, study books, etc. Looking forward to it all..

Hey, I have a ton of trouble with controlling speed during stalls. I feel like it wasn’t covered much. Conceptually i get it but it’s a huge hill to over come. When you set flaps and try to stay on altitude you have to fight the natural balloon tendency by pitching down which slows you but then the balloon stops and you gain speed. In that moment when the controls invert and then again I blow past stall speed. Do you have any devices to help me with this? I’m a new pilot in an accelerated program and day 3 we started doing stalls so it’s a lot and VERY easy to get over saturated, start hyper focusing, and screw up.

[oliversibbs]

A little confused, max power when your aircraft is in a stalled attitude? Are you not supposed to relax first before full power?

[coqueto]

My nose always wants to drop so hard... I'm going to try not pitching up as much... not like I'd go that steep on final anyways

I love this plane very much, but I do not understand what you are saying, because I am an Arab. I have subscribed to your channel. Greetings to you from Iraq ❤🇮🇶

Love the channel. Not a fan of the logo. Consider rebranding 😁
