What is the primary objective when establishing slow flight for a Private Pilot License (PPL)?

The primary objective when establishing slow flight for a Private Pilot License (PPL) is to ensure that a stall warning occurs with reduced power. This is crucial because slow flight maneuvers are designed to familiarize pilots with the characteristics of their aircraft at or near stall conditions. By intentionally flying close to the stall speed while still maintaining control, pilots learn to recognize early signs of an impending stall through stall warnings, airframe vibrations, or control feedback.

This training helps build the skills needed to safely handle the aircraft in situations where slow flight might be required, such as during final approach or when maneuvering in confined spaces. Understanding the stall characteristics of the aircraft is essential for overall flight safety, and ensuring a stall warning occurs during slow flight reinforces the pilot's ability to respond appropriately to such critical scenarios.
