Exceeding the stall AOA
The T-6A stall AOA is?
18 units
What three things will increase AOA and thereby risking a stall?
High pitch attitude
High G load
Flying at slow airspeeds
What four senses help you recognize a stall?
Visual indications
Auditory indications
Pilot kinesthesia
Control pressure feedback
What is a sense of change in direction or speed of motion called?
kinesthesia
What are the tow sources of buffet in the T-6?
- Turbulent airflow from the top of the wing hitting the empennage of the aircraft causing rudder and elevator to shake.
- The stick shaker, which activates about 5-10 knots above stall speed
Which two things might happen at a stall? (one or both will occur)
- Abrupt uncommanded nose drop
2. Uncommanded rolling motion
When is full stall considered?
At the first uncommanded nose drop and/or rolling motion.
What three things need you do before practicing stalls?
Complete the Pre-stall checklist
Plan your entry to ensure you stay in the area
Clear for possible conflicts
What are the two types of power on stalls?
Straight ahead power on stall
Turning power on stall
What pitch setting is used for a nose high power on stall?
30-40
What pitch setting is used for a nose low power on stall?
15-30
What bank angle is used for a turning stall?
20-30
What should you set the engine torque at for power on stalls?
30-60%
When should you set engine torque for power on stalls?
When pitch/bank is established
What is recovery AOA for stalls?
15.5-18 units
Why do we practice break turn stalls?
Develop early recognition of break turn stall
Develop skills and confidence recovering from break turn stalls
To set up a break turn stall what should the PCL be retracted to?
Ca. 10%
When do you initiate recovery procedures when performing a break stall?
