Which type of stalls are prohibited in the aircraft?

In the context of the T-6 aircraft and its operational limits, inverted stalls are prohibited due to the specific design and operational configuration of the aircraft. Inverted stalls occur when the aircraft is effectively flying upside down, and the aerodynamic characteristics and control effectiveness can differ significantly from conventional upright flight. This type of stall can lead to unpredictable behavior and loss of control, which is especially concerning during training operations where safety is paramount.

The T-6 is designed primarily for training purposes, where students learn to handle various normal flight operations and recoveries. Engaging in inverted stalls could lead to scenarios that exceed the designed handling capabilities of the aircraft, posing a risk not only to the pilot but also to the aircraft itself. Therefore, prohibiting inverted stalls helps maintain safety and ensures that pilots are only trained in maneuvers that align with the aircraft’s design limits and operational procedures.
