The Wright Brothers gave us the gift of powered flight more than a century ago. But the gift has its limitations: potentially dangerous stalls and spins lurk beyond the critical angle of attack. This book combines 100 years of light airplane research with practical knowledge about the post-stall environment into one of the most comprehensive guides to Stall/Spin Awareness available. You'll learn:
Who's most at risk of a stall/spin accident
What your instructor may not know about stalls and spins
The physiology and human factors involved with spinning
Stall/spin dynamics and critical flight operations
Important advice from experts and researchers
The truth about manufacturer-supplied information
How to take charge of your stall/spin education
The twelve most popular stall/spin myths exposed
