I've been instructing for about 2.5 years and have always done stalls at night with students...
I will continue to teach stalls at night...
What is your opinion?
Remind the student that the aircraft's critical angle of attack do not change based on time of day so its a non issue I wonder what would happen if I asked your student to go up with me during the night in a Citabria to do some spins, immelman and inside loops and such either way sounds like a confidence issue with that said you would be amazed at how many people who have never had any spin training
