Flight 3

Slow and level flight was the topc today. During this lesson the objective is to slow the airplane down as slow as it can go and still maintain flight.

We also practiced stalls, both power on and power off. These are not my favorite things to practice. It reminds me of skydiving, why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane - why would you want to enter a stall on purpose??

I should explain that a stall is not about the engine. A stall is a function of the air flow over the wing "stalling". In order to maintain lift, you need a certain amount of air above and below the wing. When you stall, you have no more lift; i.e. you are not flying, you are falling...
