What altitude gain can typically be achieved from a power-on-stall maneuver commenced at 150 KIAS?

In a power-on stall maneuver, the aircraft is typically configured to simulate a takeoff or go-around scenario where full throttle is applied. At an airspeed of 150 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS), the aircraft's performance characteristics will largely determine altitude gain during this maneuver.

When the stall is executed, as the aircraft pitches up and reaches the critical angle of attack, it begins to lose lift and stall. The key aspect here is that the combination of power and induced drag allows the plane to maintain some amount of climb momentarily before actually stalling. With a power-on stall started at 150 KIAS, the aircraft can expect to gain altitude in the range of 1500 to 2000 feet before the stall occurs. This is predominantly because of the sustained thrust from the power setting, which can counteract some of the lift loss during the initial part of the maneuver.

Understanding the specific range of altitude gain is important, as it allows pilots to anticipate the aircraft’s behavior during a critical situation. Skill in managing these maneuvers facilitates safe handling of the aircraft during takeoff phases and helps in preventing uncommanded stalls in various configurations.
