Why do it if it's not fun?

Alogan,

Yes, it sounds like you have exactly the right idea. If you do in the air exactly what you've described in your post, you should get plenty of praise from your instructor.

There is a danger for people with little experience, such as yourself, when reading this thread: many people have said many things which, although correct, do not apply in every situation.

For example, you mentioned not lowering the nose during the recovery. I think that what you have picked up on specifically relates to a recovery from an incipient stall in a light twin-engined aircraft - these aircraft have sufficient power that, from an incipient stall, this recovery technique will work fine, because the forward pressure on the controls necessary to maintain the attitude, and the resulting decrease in angle of attack, are sufficient to remove the symptoms of the approaching stall.

Although the instructors and other experienced pilots on this forum can use their experience to understand why this technique (and others that have also been discussed) might not be appropriate for all aircraft, or why a technique might be technically correct but not using the most appropriate cues, and so on, it is very difficult for someone with very little experience to see these subtleties.

Therefore, for any other students who are following this thread, I would suggest reading Alogan's post and ignoring the rest of the thread!!!
