Load Factor and Stall Speed Stall speed changes with weight and load factor (or apparent weight). Load Factor is the comparison of lift to weight of the aircraft. Since weight doesn't change, when we pitch up to maintain altitude in a turn, we increase Load Factor and our AOA. This means a continuation of pitching up or a reduction in speed causes the aircraft to reach the Critical AOA. Stall speed increases by the square root of load factor times our published stall speed (while at max weight).

A plane stalls when the wing stops producing enough lift to support the aircraft’s weight. This doesn’t mean the engine stops—it’s an aerodynamic phenomenon. The key factors are: 1. Angle of Attack (AoA) – The stall occurs when the wing’s angle relative to the oncoming air exceeds the critical angle (usually around 15°–20° for most planes). Beyond this angle, airflow separates from the wing, and lift drops sharply. 2. Airspeed – If the plane flies too slowly for its current configuration (flaps,
