Often hear instructors talk about "teaching stalling" when we should be teaching NOT to stall.

Have also heard an instructor brief a stude that the first thing you should do if you get a wing drop is apply "full opposite rudder" Turns out one of the schools round here really does teach thier instructor trainees this! They also send their studes to "practice stalling" solo

The main thing is to reduce angle of attack, I tell them not to apply power until you have at least 60 knots (PA38, PA28) hopefully by this ex they should be able to recognise the "feel" of the airspeed without having to look at the ASI. Applying power too early will induce yaw and could lead to a wing drop. Secondary importance of power is shown by the fact that gliders can recover from stalls, too!
