Plain English Meaning

A stall that happens during a turn where the tail is sliding to the outside, like a car sliding wide through a corner. When the wing stops flying, the airplane can roll and snap toward the inside of the turn very quickly.

Full Definition

A stall that occurs while the airplane is in a skidding turn, where the rate of yaw is greater than the rate of bank and the airplane is yawing to the outside of the turn.
