A student turning final notes the airplane shudders briefly and the stall warning sounds, but a full stall does not develop. Why is the bank angle in a turn so critical to stall awareness during base-to-final?

Stall speed decreases as bank angle increases due to centripetal force. Stall speed increases with bank angle because load factor increases with the secant of the bank angle. Bank angle has no effect on stall speed; only weight does. Stall speed depends only on density altitude and is independent of bank angle.

Correct Answer:

Stall speed increases with bank angle because load factor increases with the secant of the bank angle.
