What I was querying was if the Commander 1000's stalling characteristics are any better or worse than comparable types at similar altitudes. "illusion" states that they're worse - I was wondering just where that came from...
It's all about the Garrett engines and it's NTS system. Unless it's a real one which we would not do, the simulated failed prop can be anywhere in the beta range, which defeats the purpose of the exercise with respect to behavior.. Personally I'm not a supporter of deliberate stalling with these engine types.

P.S I didn't say that right, I meant out of the beta range, as the aircraft approaches the stall the aerodynamic assistance lets call it on the prop is reduced, which leads to higher dependency on the NTS system and it's not great. If the prop goes beta at the stall your on your back in a nano second.
