Which risk greatly increases when the alula feather stalls during thermal soaring?

💡 Explanation

Stalling of the alula reduces airflow control and lift via boundary layer transition, because lift abruptly decreases without the alula's smooth air reattachment: Therefore, uncontrolled roll occurs, rather than muscular fatigue, changes in VO2, or oxygen uptake, which are slower processes.
