Stalls
Familiarization
STALLS
This phase of your training introduces the procedures for entering and recovering from several stall
conditions, including the break turn stall/recovery, the power off stall/recovery, the landing attitude stall/
recovery, the approach turn stall/recovery, and the accelerated stall/recovery. This section also states the
required weather and altitude minimums and discusses the prestall and aerobatic checklist.
You will perform stalls to familiarize yourself with the T-45’s flight characteristics as you approach and
enter a stalled condition. Your ability to recognize and recover from an impending stall is a critical compo-
nent of your skills as a qualified Naval aviator.
