Question is why do we teach stall recognition and recovery.
When is an aircraft going to stall.
Probably not at 4000 feet on a bright sunny day.

When an aircraft stalls and the wing drops eg C152/PA38 the first thing a pilot does is apply opposite aileron, worsening the situation. And is unlikely to be power off.
It is an instinctive reaction to aircraft roll.
We all know it probably takes an hour of stall practise to teach the student not to use aileron, which quickly gets forgotten.

And i would imagine that any instructor on a windy day climb out experiencing severe wing drop would probably also use aileron to recover combined with rudder.
