Normal-Category Aeroplanes (CS-23) · CS-23 · EAR revision 13 May 2026

IR Implementing rule

## CS 23.2150 Stall characteristics, stall warning, and spins

(a) The aeroplane must have controllable stall characteristics in straight flight, turning flight, and accelerated turning flight with a clear and distinctive stall warning that provides sufficient margin to prevent inadvertent stalling. A stall warning that is mutable for aerobatic flight phases is acceptable.

(b) Single-engine aeroplanes, not certified for aerobatics, must not have a tendency to hazardously depart from controlled flight inadvertently.

(c) Level-1 and -2 multi-engine aeroplanes, not certified for aerobatics, must not have a tendency to hazardously depart controlled flight inadvertently from thrust asymmetry after a critical loss of thrust.

(d) Aeroplanes certified for aerobatics that include spins must have controllable stall characteristics and the ability to recover within one and one-half additional turns after initiation of the first control action from any point in a spin, not exceeding six turns or any greater number of turns for which certification is requested, while remaining within the operating limitations of the aeroplane.

(e) Aeroplanes intended for aerobatics have the ability to recover from any approved manoeuvre, without exceeding limitations or exhibiting unsafe characteristics.
