C172 Stalls

Question 1

What is the Power Off Stall Procedure?

Answer 1

1. Perform two 90° clearing turns
2. 2000 RPM (maintain altitude)
3. Landing configuration flow (flaps 40)
4. Stabilized descent at 65 KIAS
5. Throttle idle (slowly)
6. Wings level or up to 20° bank as assigned
7. Raise nose to an attitude that induces a
   stall
8. Acknowledge cues of the impending stall
9. At full stall / first indication of impending stall (as required), recover – reduce AOA, level
   wings, apply max power
10. Retract flaps to 20° (immediately)
11. Retract flaps to 10° when airspeed is greater than 60 KIAS
12. Increase pitch to arrest descent
13. Establish Vx or Vy as appropriate
14. Retract flaps to 0° when accelerating through Vx
15. Return to specified altitude, heading, and airspeed
16. “Cruise Checklist.”

Question 2

What is Power On Stall Procedure?

Answer 2

1. Perform two 90° clearing turns
2. 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3. Clean configuration flow
4. At 60 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch (slowly) and apply full power
5. Increase pitch attitude to induce stall
6. Acknowledge cues of the impending stall
7. At full stall / first indication of impending stall (as required), recover – reduce AOA, level
   wings, apply max power
8. Return to specified altitude, heading, and airspeed
9. “Cruise Checklist.”
