Pilots of such aircraft are trained to avoid sudden and drastic increases in power at low altitude and low airspeed as it may be difficult to recover from an accelerated stall under these conditions. [37] A notable example of an air accident involving a low-altitude turning flight stall is the 1994 Fairchild Air Force Base B-52 crash.
Category for aviation accidents and incidents of airline aircraft primarily caused by a stall, a reduction of the lift coefficient of an aircraft due to inadequate airspeed and/or angle of attack. Pages in category "Airliner accidents and incidents caused by stalls"
Eight seconds before impact, the aircraft's IAS had deteriorated to 145 knots (269 km/h; 167 mph) and the aircraft's bank angle increased past 60°. At this time Holland or McGeehan applied full right spoiler, right rudder, and nose-up elevator, and the aircraft entered a turning flight stall (also called accelerated stall).
A diverted American Airlines flight from Chicago experiencing right engine stall made emergency landing Wednesday night in Columbus without incident.
The total load factor required to maintain level flight is directly related to the bank angle. This means that for a given airspeed, level flight can only be maintained up to a certain given angle of bank. Beyond this angle of bank, the aircraft will suffer an accelerated stall if the pilot attempts to generate enough lift to maintain level flight.
The minimum such speed is the stall speed, or V SO. The indicated airspeed at which a fixed-wing aircraft stalls varies with the weight of the aircraft but does not vary significantly with altitude. At speeds close to the stall speed the aircraft's wings are at a high angle of attack. At higher altitudes, the air density is lower than at sea level.
Hundreds of passengers were forced to evacuate on slides during a snowstorm after their Delta flight aborted takeoff from Atlanta due to an engine issue Friday morning, the airline said. Delta ...
Spin — an aggravated stall and autorotation. In flight dynamics a spin is a special category of stall resulting in autorotation (uncommanded roll) about the aircraft's longitudinal axis and a shallow, rotating, downward path approximately centred on a vertical axis. [1]
