Inspired to practice some fully developed turning stalls you can see the new SkyView G-meter pop up during the recovery... fun!

See why you don't want to do that on the base to final turn???

Turning Stall in the pattern?

So, how many feet did you loose to full recovery?

Funny, it looks like your synthetic vision is showing the snow on the mountains.

....its not....right?

turning stall...

The deep stall in the video was held to fully develop and is recovered in about 600ft (you can see the altitude tape going in 100s)... you will definitely need to do your own testing to get a feel for just what is going and how your aircraft responds but work up to it first... a developed turning stall is very close to ripping into a spin if you let it (the rotational rate will surprise if you), and it is not all that far from falling out inverted...

No snow in the synthetic vision... at least not yet! You are seeing the shading that is used to visualize elevation changes... it is more pronounced with steeper grading in mountain valleys.

Related Experience

My friend tried that a couple times in a certified aerobatic airplane. On his first attempt, he just did a pseudo snap-roll. I don't know if he had too much power on or what caused it. Other than losing a few knots and shock on his part, nothing really happened.

On the next several attempts, the expected incipient spin was the result.
