Power-Off Stall
A stall practiced at idle power to simulate the conditions of a stall during the approach to landing. The pilot reduces power to idle, slows the airplane, and then increases the pitch attitude until the critical angle of attack is exceeded and the wing stalls. Recovery involves lowering the nose to reduce the angle of attack and adding full power.
