Technique - Power-on Stall
There's nothing to fear
The power-on stall is known by many names—departure or takeoff stall are two popular versions. But many students apply only one word to describe this necessary maneuver—scary. If you study the practical test standards for the power-on stall, you’ll find there’s nothing at all to be afraid of. The reason many students fear it is because the stall’s intent and many different methods of execution are misunderstood.
Although we practice and are tested on power-on stalls as a way to minimize altitude loss in the event of an inadvertent stall after takeoff, the maneuver is really all about coordination. Keep the ball in the middle of the inclinometer and this will be the easiest maneuver you’ll ever do. But allow it to stray outside and the airplane will react in unwanted ways.
