Two points.

Yes the inboard section of a swept wing jet ( indeed all wings) stall at the root first, a desirable stability requirement which gives a nose down pitch at the stall.

However, how do you know how much of the wing is stalled, so assume the worst and avoid the use of aileron until unstalled.

Secondly, after 20 years p1 on various Boeing rwins I dont really buy this business of pitch changes with power being dominant or making things difficult.

Adding power at recovery does reduce height loss, essential for recovery near the ground !

Yes, it does occur BUT the elevator can so easily control the required pitch attitude, so is the primary control, fly the aircraft, dont let it fly you !

That said, perhaps FBW Airbuses are different !

Back in my box !
