Instrument Flight
Basic Instrument Maneuvers
STALLS
The stalls consist of recoveries initiated from two types of entries: clean and dirty. Prior to executing
these stalls, complete the stall and aerobatic checklist. You must begin all stalls at a minimum altitude of
10,000 ft AGL.
Clean
Clean stalls are performed with gear up, flaps/slats retracted, and speed brakes in, and they are initiated
at an airspeed of 200 KIAS. To commence the maneuver, reduce throttle to idle rpm to idle, extend the
speed brakes to assist in slowing down, retract the speed brakes at 150 KIAS, keep the wings level, and
maintain altitude. As the airspeed bleeds off, you will have to increase back stick pressure to hold altitude
constant, do not trim past 150 KIAS. Maintain altitude until you feel the rudder shaker, heavy buffet, and
obtain wing drop off at stall. To recover, advance the throttle to MRT, retract the speed brakes, lower the
nose to attain 20-21 units AOA, and level wings. Hold 20-21 units AOA until you see a positive rate of
climb on the VSI and altimeter.
