Color faded, “The Federal Aviation Administration Presents Stalling for Safety”, 1974

“Stalls: the student pilot’s nemesis. Most student pilots experience a little trepidation about doing stalls the first few times. But stall practice is a necessary part of learning to fly and this film demonstrates just how important it is to have a thorough understanding of how accidental stalls occur as well as stall recognition and recovery techniques. Also included is a demonstration of spins. Through practice over time most stall-averse students find stalls aren’t so bad after all. As stated in this film, practice is the answer. And don’t stop once you have your ticket. Continue to practice flight at minimum controllable airspeed; an excellent way to keep proficient at recognizing the mushy feel of the controls that may warn of an approaching stall. And practice your stalls. Knowing their causes will help you avoid the inadvertent stall. Practice often. Make it a habit to go out, and work on, “Stalling for safety.””
