CFIs repeat it like a mantra: An airplane can stall at any airspeed, in any pitch attitude. Your trainer's wing always stalls when it exceeds its critical angle of attack—and that can happen even if the airplane is pointed straight down and approaching VNE.

Stall recovery is simple. You recover by adding forward elevator pressure, or at least relaxing the back elevator pressure to decrease, or lower, the angle of attack below the critical point. There's no need to panic—your airplane will respond to all of your control inputs.
Most pilots avoid turbulence because it can make flying uncomfortable and can potentially cause damage to the aircraft. Because most of the time it is not predicted and you have no visual clues before hitting it. We CERTAINLY avoid it when we can. What do pilots use to detect turbulence?
The stalls that pilots practice are aerodynamic stalls not engine stalls. It happens when the critical angle of attack is exceeded. [Typically the nose is pitched up too much is what it means]. It results in airflow separation that means that the wing no longer is generating any [significant] lift.
The Ruppert Archaeopteryx has a certified stall speed of 30–39 kilometres per hour (19–24 mph). The Vought XF5U can fly as slow as 32 kilometres per hour (20 mph). The Tapanee Pegazair-100 stall speed is 45 kilometres per hour (28 mph).
The An-2 is one of the largest single-engine biplanes ever produced. It was particularly prized for its versatility and extraordinary slow-flight, short takeoff, and landing capabilities. In fact, the An-2 has no published stall speed, and pilots have been known to fly the plane under full control at 30 mph.
Your chances of being involved in a fatal plane crash are incredibly small – around 1 in 11 million, according to Harvard researchers. While your odds of being in a plane accident are about 1 in 1.2 million, survivability rates are about 95.7% – so the odds are with you no matter how you look at it.
ALERT CENTER: Plane's wing breaks off during extreme turbulence. Travelers lived some scary moments after part of a plane's wing broke off during extreme turbulence.
The stall is a breakdown of the smooth airflow over the wing into a turbulent one, resulting in a decrease in lift. The lift will no longer fully support the aeroplane's weight, and the aeroplane sinks.
Most commercial aircraft now pack weather radar – from the Airbus A321 to the Boeing 777. Weather radar can pick up weather systems sufficiently ahead to warn of precipitation and turbulence, allowing the fast-moving aircraft to divert in time to equally protect the humans and the aircraft.
Turbulence is a sudden and sometimes violent shift in airflow. Those irregular motions in the atmosphere create air currents that can cause passengers on an airplane to experience annoying bumps during a flight, or it can be severe enough to throw an airplane out of control. (The pilots) aren't scared at all.
With this in mind, horizontal winds (also known as “crosswinds”) in excess of 30-35 kts (about 34-40 mph) are generally prohibitive of take-off and landing. As far as how this happens, it depends on where you are in flight.
The idea is to get as much altitude as possible, as close to the airport as possible. So you have a relatively steep initial climb, followed by a reduction of climb angle to cruise climb and a power reduction.
