First and second pylon flaps are located on aft portions of the first and second jet engine pylons, respectively. The first and second pylon flaps are moveable between retracted pylon flap angular orientations and extended pylon flap angular orientations. The first and second pylon flaps can assume only fully retracted angular orientations and fully extended angular orientations. When the T-tailed aircraft enters into a deep stall condition, the pilot will more than likely push the control column forward to its maximum position. This full forward movement of the control column commands the first and second pylon flaps to assume fully extended angular orientations. A first pylon flap controller controls the first pylon flap to move between the fully extended and fully retracted angular orientations, and a second pylon flap controller controls the second pylon flap to move between the fully extended and fully retracted angular orientations.
