Title: Describe stalls and spins.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Examining the Forces that Act on Aircraft

Description should include the following:

- An aircraft stall results from a rapid decrease in lift caused by the separation of airflow from the wing’s surface brought on by exceeding the critical AOA. In a stall, the wing does not totally stop producing lift; rather, it cannot generate adequate lift to sustain level flight.
- A stabilized spin is not different from a stall in any element other than rotation, and the same load-factor considerations apply to spin recovery as apply to stall recovery.
