How to practice power-on stall recoveries (video tip)
1 min read 
This week we go flying to see what power-on stalls are all about. Some pilots are nervous about this maneuver, which can require a nose-high attitude. But with a good understanding of the aerodynamics and a preview from outside the airplane, you’ll have the confidence to perform these stalls smoothly – and hopefully avoid an inadvertent one on takeoff.
