Thought so. What triggered me is that the instructor apparently asked to "perform a stall in the landing configuration" instead of "an approach to stall in the landing configuration".
That distinction is important. When you're in the landing configuration that's usually because you're landing (duh), and thus happen to be close to the ground (duh). So you need to recognise the early signs of a stall and act upon it immediately. You can't let the stall develop, because you don't have the height to recover.
So every time I've done this exercise, the exercise briefing always included "recovery on the first sign of the stall". Which were:
- Stall warner
- Sloppy controls
- Buffet
- ASI at the lower end of the white band
Recovery is standard: pitch down sufficient to break the stall, full power, establish climb, clean up the aircraft and climb away (go around). But do NOT sink any further: The whole exercise should be done without height loss.
