Sneaky stalls

« Back to Glossary Index

Sneaky stalls refer to an unexpected stall that can occur during flight maneuvers, especially those that demand immense concentration from inexperienced pilots. This colloquial expression describes a sudden loss of lift that catches pilots off guard during flight. The term ‘sneaky’ implies the difficult-to-predict nature of stalls that can happen unexpectedly, without any warning signs. This makes them incredibly dangerous, as pilots may not even realize they are in a stall until it is too late to recover. As such, it is essential for pilots to be aware of the risk of sneaky stalls and to take the necessary measures to prevent them. This can be achieved through proper training, practice, and vigilance to minimize the risk of accidents caused by sneaky stalls.
