Flying Handbook Menu > Slow Flight, Stalls, and Spins > Stalls > Secondary Stall
This stall is called a secondary stall since
it may occur after a recovery from a preceding stall. It is
caused by attempting to hasten the completion of a stall recovery
before the airplane has regained sufficient flying speed. [figure
4-7] When this stall occurs, the back-elevator pressure should
again be released just as in a normal stall recovery. When sufficient
airspeed has been regained, the airplane can then be returned
to straight-and-level flight..
This stall usually occurs when the pilot uses
abrupt control input to return to straight-and-level flight
after a stall or spin recovery. It also occurs when the pilot
fails to reduce the angle of attack sufficiently during stall
recovery by not lowering pitch attitude sufficiently, or by
attempting to break the stall by using power only.
