Definition

Power-On Stall

A stall practiced at takeoff or climb power to simulate the conditions of a stall during departure or climb-out. The pilot applies takeoff power and increases pitch until the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack. Because of the higher power, the left-turning tendencies are more pronounced and the stall break can be more abrupt than a power-off stall.
