When i did stall training in flight school we would cut power, then raise the nose to about 30-45 degrees and wait for it to drop. And when it did, it did so really fast.
its amazing how apprehensive you can be about stall training then when it finally happens for the first time you look around still waiting for something to go on besides the little harmonica horn.....then the instructor tells you to try one and you're too busy being excited that the most dreaded part of your training was about the easiest and least stressful
@manifestgtr Except in a climbing, turning, power on stall with nearly 30 degree nose up attitude, that will sure wake you up in the morning, nose dropping, wing dropping, first time it happened I screamed like a girl lol. My frantic and frightened aileron inputs didnt help lol. Although I finally flew in a Piper Archer recently, and it was a completely different game than my usual 172. Power on, stalling...stalling...nothing scary at all lol.
nice video, however i would have like to seen more cockpit veiws during the stalls. but they're hard to get with the turbelence and the fact that both pilots are shoulder to shoulder. but still good video. i love that landscape!
Bah. You look like you have enough altitude to perform the maneuver. And as for Cherokees presenting dangers in a stall -- I fly a Cherokee 180 and can't hardly get the thing to stall power-off. It's incredibly stable, almost to the point of being boring. A high-wing plane will tend to enter a spin fairly easily, but these Cherokees are just too stable.
I agree - they're really quite robust aircraft. The one in the video above, and several others I fly are weeeeeeellllllll over 20 or so years old, but they keep going and going..... and going and going!
I plan to go over to Arizona at some point in the future to continue training, and apparently theres a 2 week section of 'unusual attitude' training, which sounds fun. Not sure on the aircraft type for that though!
Agreed. Stall is very uneventful. Only time people get into trouble with 180's is when they try to stretch glide to far at low altitudes such as in an emergency landing.
you stalled a cherokee series airplane with a person in the backseat? DO YOU HAVE A DEATHWISH....everyone knows that its a terrible mistake to make because cherokees, including warriors, have a high CG. When that cg is moved aft by a person in the back seat, the aircraft will have a tendency to enter a flat spin should the pilot improperly stall the aircraft. As everyone also knows, flat spins are nearly impossible to get out of in GA aircraft.
2500 most likely, I really can't remember, it being well over a year ago now.
As I said, my instructor is the most 'aviation savvy' person i've ever known, and there's no way he would have let me stall the aircraft if he didn't think it was safe.

It's a requirement on the apron at the airfield I fly out of. So normally we just leave them on in the aircraft too!

Yeah, I agree! My passenger in the back was in control of the camera though unfortunately, and he seemed to be more interested in the view!!
I've got one or two more recent videos, on approach into Newcastle, which have some panel shots :)

stalls are so cool!

that looks to me like a good 3,500ft
p.s: if you don't recover quickly enough, which it looked like it took him at least 300ft, it definately feels like falling!!

as i don't fly, but i would like to... i was just wondering when you stall, do you feel yourself falling or not?
palaceboiblockv 3 years ago
Not particulary... at least not so much that i've noticed!
I think it just seems more like a glide, with a high rate of descent! :)

I'm sure my instructor, who has had many thousands of hours of experience, was quite aware of any risks thanks :)

Did your instructor also know that you were clearly too low for performing stalls as well? What, are you guys at 1000 feet AGL there???
