Q. What's the difference between a student pilot with three solo hours and one with a PPL and some aerobatics training?

A. Surely you know the answer.

I have found that some students recover quicker from a power-off stall by letting go rather than trying to do "SOMETHING RIGHT BLOODY NOW BECAUSE IT'S STALLED AND I'M GOING TO DIE". So I introduce the recovery bit by bit.

If they want to go and practice this method of confidence-building on their own, that's OK with me as long as I know they've got the height. We can go to 4500' here in Class G airspace, so if they are nervous they can go to 4000' if they want to. There's nothing wrong with spare height for students, and I don't see a good reason to change the way we teach stalling.

Safe flying
