Second, the aircraft does not “experience a stall at high speed due to critical AOA being exceeded”. That would be very bad. Typically the target in the break is max lift AOA to use all the induced drag available to slow down. Even pre-stall buffet is too much pull. Good point though that accelerated stall recovery is easy because you have lots of energy. With airspeed above straight and level stall speed, simply relax the pull and you are safe again. | |
