How I Stalled On The Base Turn (And Got Away With It)

Just this past Fri.On the hold short at a local Class Delta – “Holding short for landing traffic”.A twin flying a nice stabilized glideslope.Per the ATIS “Birds in vicinity of the airport – all quadrants”.It’s a Red Tail and it’s right over the EMAS at the end of the arrival end of the runway at about 150ft.Right on the glideslope.Looking up from the ground into the clear blue – it’s as plain as day.I’m thinking for the twin looking down onto the textured airport surface it’s not nearly so obvious.Especially as it’s more or less hovering.
