  2. Stall turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_turn

    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.

  4. Skid (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(aerodynamics)

    In the slip, the raised wing — the left one if the airplane is turning to the right — will stall before the lowered one, and the airplane will reduce the bank angle, which prevents the stall. In the skid, the lowered wing will stall before the raised one, and the airplane will tighten the turn, and the stall can develop to a spin.

    Hammerhead; Stall Turn Hammerhead; Stall Turn: 1/4 loop (pull or push) to vertical, as momentum/airspeed decreases, rudder is applied and the aircraft rotates around its yaw axis, the nose falls through the horizon and points towards the ground, a momentary pause is made to draw the vertical down line, and 1/4 loop to level flight.

    The stall turn, also known as a Hammerhead. In a stall turn the plane goes upward, decelerates, yaws 180° under stall, and comes down nearly the same path it goes up, as if it gets hammered on the head. To perform a stall turn; From level flight input up elevator and reduce power until the aircraft stalls. The angle, speed, and abruptness at ...

  7. Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 751 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Airlines...

    The plane departed from Stockholm at 08:47. Shortly after liftoff, pieces of ice broke off and slammed into the fans of both engines, deforming the fan blades sufficiently to disturb the airflow to the compressors. The disturbed airflow caused the compressors to stall and this in turn caused the engines to surge. As the engines were not ...

  8. Falling leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_leaf

    The falling leaf is often used as a training maneuver, teaching the pilot to control the plane during a stall and helping beginners to overcome the fear that happens when a plane stalls unexpectedly. It is generally performed from a low-speed, straight, level stall, to avoid the buffeting, departure from the normal flightpath, and flat spin ...

    The crew decided that if the aircraft was unable to maintain altitude by the time they reached 12,000 feet (3,700 m), they would turn back out to sea and attempt to ditch into the Indian Ocean. The crew began engine restart drills, despite being well outside the recommended maximum engine in-flight start envelope altitude of 28,000 feet (8,500 m).
