Keep the a/c in balance throughout the entry to the stall and at all times during the recovery.

To recover:

Full power (keeping the ball centered) and control column centrally forward until the stall identification ceases, then maintain that pitch attitude.

Then level wings and ease into a climb.


DO NOT try to 'pick up a wing with rudder' at any point in the stall, just keep the ball in the middle. In fact don't use anything to 'pick up a wing' UNTIL the exit from the stall - and then only normal control movements. The problem with trying to 'pick up a wing' with rudder in a stall is that most stuents won't be able to assess this accurately and may provoke an incipient spin in the opposite direction.

The RAF stopped this practice decades ago!
