Stick Forward
Full Power (keep in balance)
Climb (at appropriate speed)

That is the Standard Stall Recovery.

If the student moves the stick forward and then applies full power followed by pitching up to acheive the climb attitude 3 things may happen;

1. They acheive the climb attitude and the climb speed at the same instant - 100% This will be the prompt recovery with minimal height loss

2. They acheive the climb attitude but the speed is way above the climb speed - they are either lowering the nose too much (stukka dive) or are moving the stick forward correctly but delaying the pitch up to climb attitude too long or a combination of the two. This will cause excessive height loss

2. They acheive the climb attitude but the speed is below the climb speed (or worst case they are not accelerating because they are in buffet/high drag) - they pulled back too soon or too hard - They have pulled back too soon or not moved the sick forward enough or a combination of the two. This risks a secondary stall and also causes excessive height loss.

With practice, the student can recover from the stall and safely climb away at the appropriate climb speed with minimal height loss eventhough the airspeed indicator is covered.

and it is normally the buffet that it the first sign of stall so you pitch forward sufficiently to remove that during the recovery

What about aircraft that show little or no signs of aerodynamic buffet and have no stall warning indicator?
