As part of the FI course before things got “health and safety conscious” I would get the student to stop the prop “for the experience.” C152 with Lycoming.
DD,
At the same place I did my course, I suspect. It took all of the space from 6,000' to 3,000' to get the stopped prop over the compression, even then at almost VNE and rocking back and forth to get just the right AoA. Demo'd by the FIC instructor, not practiced by the student (me). One of the stand-outs (amongst many) from the course. The actual advice was 'if the prop has stopped and the electric start won't work, secure the engine (mixture ICO and mags off) and carry out a forced landing without power, forget about trying to restart using airflow'. The demo was all about how hard it is to restart, not how to do it.
