Minimum height loss recovery, of course, pretty obvious really.

SO what was wrong with what we taught in the RAF via CFS, where I was a standards QFI ( and later a Boeing TC)

Stall means we have exceeded the max cl angle and lift is deteriorating, probably because we have let IAS get too low and increased a of a to try and compensate,

SO: stick forward just enough to reduce angle of attack and restore lift, lower nose until buffet, stick shaker stops AND add FULL POWER. Gently rotate into climb.

And when the 737 pitches up on power,, control it to your advantage using forward stick, basic. ( And I have a few thousand hours, LHS on type plus a few thousand hours on bigger Boeing’s )

Recovery achieved, lminimum height loss.

Simples !

What were we we getting wrong?
