Slow Flight Theory
Range of airspeeds between the maximum endurance speed for a particular aircraft and the point just above its stalling speed of the existing flight conditions”.
- The slowest airspeed at which the airplane is capable of maintaining controlled flight without indications of a stall—usually 3 to 5 knots above stalling speed.
- Because of the risks of stall, slow flight can be hazardous specially at low altitude.
- Slow flight should be of short duration because of the insufficient airflow for engine cooling.
- Stall can happen at any power setting
