In a power-on stall procedure, what is the throttle setting before reaching 65 KIAS?

In a power-on stall procedure, the throttle setting before reaching 65 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed) is important to ensure the airplane is in a proper configuration for the maneuver. The correct throttle setting is typically set at 2000 RPM for most general aviation aircraft, which provides sufficient power to generate the necessary lift while also allowing the pilot to safely induce a stall.

Setting the throttle at 2000 RPM ensures that the aircraft has enough power to maintain controlled flight as the speed decreases during the stall maneuver. It allows the pilot to initiate the stall without dropping below critical performance parameters, enhancing safety and control authority during the procedure.

When performing this maneuver, you want to ensure that you are not too low on throttle, which could lead to an unintended stall prior to executing the procedure, and aiming for a setting like 2000 RPM strikes a good balance between performance and safety.
