The
power-off stall is a simulated approach-to-landing stall. Its purpose is
to demonstrate the student's ability to recognize the onset of the stall and
his/her recovery of the stall. Its purpose is not to demonstrate the
students ability to stall. The setup for the power-off stall is just like
the approach-to-landing setup (abeam the downwind).
