Questionairre abourt stalling and experience

[harry]

Hi guys

I amdoing a project with a university, and am trying to get as many people in aviation to answer these questiosn (shouldnt take more than 2 minutes, so your input will be much appreciated). You dont need experience on microlights/ultralights to answer!

How many hours of experience do you have

on microlights:

On all other aircraft:

What are the symptoms of an approaching stall (off the top of your head)?

Do you believe you could identify an approaching stall without the warning system easily on the aircraft you have flown?

Do you believe you could identify the approaching stall on a ultralight/microlight without a warning system?

(For those with ultra/microlight experience) Would a stall warning system be a welcome addition to ultralight/microlight flying?

Thanks for answering the questions!

200 hours single and multi engine aircraft

symptoms are very unresponsive controls, the aircraft buffeting ( light shaking up and down ), then the plane falling nose down and trying to gain airspeed back.

I could probably id the stall coming but probably only at the last few seconds prior to the full stall.

never flown an ultralight, but I'm surprised they don't have stall awareness equip already! Yes it would be helpful. hope to fly one in the future.

good luck with more answers ! Merry Christmas.

Depends on aircraft/situation. Small aircraft if slowing gradually, buffeting as someone else said. High altitude jet aircraft or accelerated stall in small aircraft may give little to no warning. Both answers discount the stall warning systems installed as the primary warning on aircraft I've flown.

Do you believe you could identify an approaching stall without the warning system easily on the aircraft you have flown?

Depends on situation/aircraft as above - sometimes yes and sometimes no.

Do you believe you could identify the approaching stall on a ultralight/microlight without a warning system?

No idea since I have no experience with that type aircraft.
