← TechnologyWhich circumstance will cause aircraft stall during flight?
A)Exceeding the critical angle of attack✓
B)Reaching indicated airspeed limits
C)Turbulence intensity reaches severe levels
D)Fuel supply drops unexpectedly below minimum
💡 Explanation
Aircraft stall happens because exceeding the critical angle of attack causes airflow separation. It's called stall *angle exceeding* rather than turbulent conditions, because stall occurs predictably at a specific angle regardless of airspeed within normal operational ranges, therefore resulting in loss of lift.
