Authenticity alert! Neither Dean Koontz, Ken Follett, John Grisham, nor J.K. Rowling were involved in crafting this article. Why not? Because what follows isn't fiction, although it is hard to believe. On August 30, the FAA released a SAFO or Safety Alert for Operators titled, Maneuvering During Slow Flight in an Airplane. The SAFO explains the FAA's new slow flight training and testing philosophy for pilots. Guess what? It turns out that all this time, you've been practicing slow flight way too slow. Slow flight was traditionally performed just above the critical angle of attack at minimum controllable airspeed (MCA), with the stall warning horn (or light) wailing in the background. Apparently the FAA now believes that experiencing a stall horn during slow flight at MCA reduces your sensitivity to the sound, making it less likely that you'll react to an impending stall.

机译：真实性警报！ Dean Koontz，Ken Follett，John Grisham和J.K.罗琳参与了本文的撰写。为什么不？尽管很难相信，但随后的故事并非虚构。 8月30日，FAA为操作人员发布了SAFO或安全警报，标题为“飞机缓慢飞行中的操纵”。 SAFO为飞行员解释了FAA的新慢速飞行训练和测试理念。你猜怎么了？事实证明，所有这些时间，您一直在练习慢速飞行，速度太慢。传统上，慢速飞行是在最小可控空速（MCA）的临界攻角正上方执行的，而失速警告号角（或灯光）在背景中鸣叫。显然，FAA现在认为，在MCA慢速飞行过程中遇到失速喇叭会降低您对声音的敏感性，从而使您不太可能对即将发生的失速做出反应。
