A flat plat stall looks like this (airflow from left to right):An aerodynamic stall caused by ice is harder to explain in the absence of a lift-producing airfoil.
Just like a 'traditional' airfoil, ice may trip this kind of separation earlier.
To see what a tail stall looks like on a tail with a downforce, turn your screen upside down (airflow will now be from right to left)
Nauga,
and his separation anxiety
