Question 1 of 9
You're in a level 50° steep turn at cruise speed and the airplane stalls. Why?
You were simply too slow — low airspeed caused the stall.
Load factor raised the stall speed, and back-pressure took the wing to its critical angle of attack.
The engine couldn't make enough power to sustain the turn.
