Cessna 152 Practice Stall

Practicing stalling in a Cessna 152. This is with power on and a wing drop (one wing stalls before the other which unchecked would lead to a spin)

Great vid... my instructor introduced me to power on/off stalls today... I fly a 152, today we flew and the exact same thing happend to me but the right wind drped. My question is... carb heat cold and rpm to 1500 hundred at around 70 kts carb hot, rpm 2500 and a pitch of 15 right? when I stalled today there was no power at all for me to use, but to relax back pressure and the cessna did the rest. Is this right? i saw you gave a little power for stall recovery???

Thanks @MrAlexeneize , I'm not an instructor so I wouldn't presume to say what you should or shouldn't do, I was taught to recover by applying power and rudder if necessary, then back pressure when speed is ok. This was all a very long time ago too!

I'll never forget.. my CFI had a stall warning fixture that he scrapped out of an older Cessna and every now and then while I was dead concentrated on flying, he'd slip it to his mouth and blow on it. It would literally make me push the control stick in from fear and confusion. Then he'd stay cracking up at my expense for the rest of the flight. Good times.

@chrisrave Excellent! My instructors would wheelie the Cessna to taxi on grass quicker while keeping the nosewheel protected off the ground, and once when we practiced an Engine failure one of them took control and flew us hedgetop height across a field.

It's always cool to hear the different pitches that the stall warning horn can produce.

Its alot easier when you are doing it. THe first one my CFI did and it scared the crap out of me. Once you do it its different because you have controll. The drop isnt that bad and the cessna recovers very well. To be honest you really have to work in alot of back pressure to stall the thing.

Let er go! lol

@MrAlexeneize The correct steps are:

1. Check forward (push control column forward to break stall)

2. Use opposite rudder if a wing drops. DO NOT use any aileron!

3. Full power, carb heat off. Bring nose up to horizon.

4. Once airspeed returns to normal, return to cruise.

Thanks @GusTButt , will have to talk to my cfi bout that one... I want to make sure I do the right thing for the checkride hehe ... thanks for the response, best of luck sir.

@luvmantlucian where do you see aileron before I used rudder?

[jbranco254]

I've always called it the "baby crying". seems more apprapoe..

@GusTButt You're not supposed to use aileron to ease out of the dive though... you're not in a spiral.
