During my initial type rating on the A320 we did quite a few stall recovery demonstrations, in fact a whole simulator session just on that. One of the things we did was get into a stall below 20.000ft, not follow the memory and just put flaps to one. The result was being out of stall. I questioned the simulator fidelity of that, and of course we have been trained to follow the memory items at all times which mentions flaps 1 very late in the flight path recovers. But it was startling to see how much of an effect supposedly the slats have. I always wonder if that simulator behavior was indeed correct or not.
