## Meaning of Stall

A substantial loss of lift after the critical angle of attack is exceeded.

### More about Stall

A stall is an aerodynamic condition, not simply an engine stopping. It can occur at different speeds depending on mass, load factor and configuration.

Recovery follows aircraft-specific procedures and requires reducing angle of attack. A particular low airspeed is therefore not the complete definition of a stall.
