At the moment I can only find online, the following part of an article, guys please read the POH for your aircraft.

F. MANEUVERS: The following maneuvers are approved for operation in the UTILITY CATEGORY only,
with recommended entry speeds shown:
Chandelles
Lazy Eights
Steep Turns
Stalls - Except Whip Stalls
Spins
109 MPH TIAS
109 MPH TIAS
109 MPH TIAS
- Use slow deceleration
Spins are prohibited

this is taken from some info on a Mooney and as you see states what you can and can't do, stalls are only allowed in the UTILITY cat, as soon as I can I will find the relevant documentation for the Piper series.

Off the top of my head the normal cat gives you a design load of 3.8G the utility cat 4.4G, the increased G loading allowable is because of the more restrictive weight limatations placed on the aircraft, please also remember that Va(manouver speed) is also much lower at these lighter weights.
