Ground Handling 12: Stall Point Drills

The stall point is not a value you memorize as a few centimeters of brake travel. It's a feel you remember with your body — the change in the wing's pressure, the drop in speed, and the sensation just before the canopy stops. The landing flare is, in the end, the skill of using this energy just before the stall. The more precisely a pilot knows when the wing stops flying, the more they can use lift to the last moment for a shorter, softer landing.
