GROUND USE ONLY
CFI Secondary Stall (Power-On)
The secondary stall demonstration consists of two stalls performed in sequence. The pilot first stalls the
airplane (power-on or power-off); then, during stall recovery, they attempt to raise the nose too quickly,
causing a second stall. This demonstrates the importance of proper stall recovery technique that focuses
on reducing AOA and regaining flying speed, rather than minimizing altitude loss. Begin the secondary
stall at an altitude that allows stall recovery to be completed no lower than 3,000' AGL.
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. At stall, recover – reduce AOA, level the wings, and apply max power
7. When stall horn silences, increase pitch to induce a secondary stall
8. At stall, recover – reduce AOA, level the wings, and apply max power
9. “Cruise Checklist.”
CFI Secondary Stall (Power-Off)
1. Perform two 90° clearing turns
2. 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3. Landing configuration flow
4. Stabilized descent at 65 KIAS
5. Throttle idle (slowly)
6. Maintain altitude to induce stall
7. At stall, recover – reduce AOA and level the wings (do not add power)
8. When stall horn silences, increase pitch to induce a secondary stall
9. At stall, recover – reduce AOA, level the wings, and 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 V X or V Y as appropriate.
14. Retract flaps to 0˚ when accelerating through V X
15. “Cruise Checklist.”
