Two schools of thought on slow flight and stalls and stall
awareness: 1) Don’t ever do it because you will die. 2)
Essential skills to AVOID dying.
I side with Bill and others: STALL TRAINING AND STALL
AWARENESS TRAINING AND PRACTICE ARE ESSENTIAL TO YOUR FLIGHT SKILLS.
I can tell you the Legacy stalls just fine and gives a nice
buffet and rolls gently to one side. Recovery is STICK FORWARD. This
needs to be a programmed response that your brain has. Not being able to
feel this or worse, never having felt this, is a deadly deficit in skill.
(Oh and remember to practice these maneuvers at safe altitudes –
just a friendly reminder in case you’re retarded.)

“Guys, if you can't fly slow, you can't fly that
airplane!”
Amen to that statement!!!!! Practice makes you
safer!

Guys, if you can't fly slow, you can't fly that airplane! You need a training
or a more simple airplane. How do you handle a traffic pattern and landing if
you can't fly slow? If you are not able to do everything required for a
biannual, including slow flight, with proficiency, you aren't qualified to fly
your plane. Get training, not gadgets!
