Goes to show just how "cost-saving" has subtly encroached on initial training due to competition in prices between flying schools. The argument that a stall prevention is better than stall cure is fine except there are many ways you can inadvertantley enter a stall at either end of the clock. Windshear and severe turbulence are 2 that imediately come to mind. As long as aerofoils are capable of stalling so will solo stall-recovery training be a basic requirement for confidence and safe piloting of any aircraft. Only need to thumb through a few crash-comics for proof.. .. .Thank God in my day solo stalls and spins were still a required part of the sylabus.
