I am having a problem understanding the issue of power and its effects on tail stall. I have looked over this video a couple times.

I will figure that out eventually. Beyond that,however, the part that really concerns me is the tail stall is recovery, especially in context of approach to landing.

1. pull back on the yoke
2. reduce flap setting
3. "judicious with power"

It would seem that during an approach, a missed approach/go-around would follow a tail stall recovery. It would certainly put you out of a stabilized approach.

The first two procedures are similar to go-around proceedures anyway, except that adding power is usually the first thing to occur or simultaneous with initiating a climb. If power is added during this critical moment, and induces a secondary tail stall (which I am still unclear how this happens), then actual missed approach procedures could not follow.

What happens now? Do I just tell tower I think we might have induced a tail stall and need to fly around at level slow flight for a while? My brain is racked
