1. Microlight Flight Lessons

2. Exercise 10A Slow Flight Aim To become familiar with the feel of the aircraft in slow flight just above the stall speed, and to recognise the symptoms of the incipient stall. Also to restore the air- craft to safe flight before the stall occurs.

3. Stall and stall speed In steady level flight, as airspeed is reduced angle of attack will also increase In steady level flight, as airspeed is reduced angle of attack will also increase This will happen whenever the airspeed is reduced, regardless of whether the aircraft is level or gliding This will happen whenever the airspeed is reduced, regardless of whether the aircraft is level or gliding

4. If flown too slowly the angle of attack will exceed the critical angle and the air flow will stall Stalled flow Controlled flight is not possible below this critical speed/angle
