    The aircraft begins at the dot, and pulls into a vertical climb. The small angled line at the top indicates a stall turn (without indicating the orientation after the turn). The plane then descends, pulls into horizontal flight, and ends at the small vertical line. The hammerhead turn, stall turn, or Fieseler is an aerobatics turn-around maneuver.
