Learjet 60 Stall Test Flight

I went on a stall test flight on the aircraft that I inspected. Keep in mind, this plane was completely torn apart 1 month prior to this flight. What a great thought to have while flying, knowing that you're the one who put it back together! This was better than any roller coaster ride I've ever been on!!

@robhoski Completely impossible if the aircraft was pressurized. At ~10,000 feet, the pressure differential is ~4.5 psi, and the main door is around 1,000 square inches. That's 4,500 pounds of pressure on that door... more specifically on the pins. There is no way you could overpower that pressure on the door pins to get it open. This stall flight was probably done between 12,000 and 15,000 feet, so that'd be even more pressure on the door. But at the same time, I trust wings over a nylon chute.

@robhoski why the hell would you want to bail out with a parachute because of a stall?

Holy crap I would be so scared to stall a LearJet

[robhoski]

Just curious ... could a pilot flying by himself stall a learjet and bail out with a parachute? How hard would it be if possible?
