...at higher speeds called an accelerated stall where drag exceeds lift available....
Not the normal definition of an accelerated stall. Normally it is defined as exceeding the critical angle of attack under a load greater than 1 g. Never seen ''drag exceeds lift available' definition.

Kurt,
There is a lift to drag ratio which is called L/D max the point where stall occurs. This can happen at any airspeed be it low A/S's or at a much more accelerated speed. To clarify this a bit if one were induce a high G loading on an airframe to where the level of drag increases to the point where enough lift can not be maintained thereby causing a stall (think wing loading and induced drag). When I was an Air Force pilot I once stalled a jet at over 500 knots in a high G maneuver heading straight towards the ground which was certainly accelerated. In order to recover I had to unload or reduce the G load to get the bird flying again I had exceeded L/D max for that airspeed. L/D max is something that was not discussed or taught to me in ground school when I was flying as a civilian pilot having 1600hrs before entering the military to fly. Your definition is certainly what most are taught.
