Love these videos.

Thanks Greg!! 🙌🏻

Additional context helps. It illustrates how being wide on a turn to base at low approach speed has reduced safety margins - when over shoot: correction back by bank vs. bank combined with pull back at low speed to maintain altitude can, even when the turn is coordinated, lead quickly to a spin and too low to recover from spin. More of a spin than a stall concern, but they tend to combine in those situations.

Does the AOA indicator not count as a first indication of a stall?

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Depends on who you ask probably. But in general, no. It is simply indicating increases in AOA. The stall warning is what actually warns of an impending stall. 👍

does it increase stall speed? my initial answer, yes. [watch vid] oh, I always think of a bank with straight-and-level. those accelerated stalls seem so fast! I guess it is five seconds from starting the turn to rolling back out of it.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Haha ;-). Yeah no one said they had to be level turns. And it doesn’t take much to get the stall to occur… that’s why they can be dangerous when you’re not paying attention! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

False! Increased load factor increases stall speed!

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

I think you’re the first and only one to actually respond to the question… so you win! Lol 😆🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
