Homeguard, couldn't agree more, old chap.
CofAs include stall performance and as said above,
Current Certificates of Airworthiness require that the wing shouldn't initially drop by more than 30 degrees
...but the emphasis there should be on the word initial. Unless the wing is unstalled without delay, then that initial wingdrop could become further wingdrop which might make some PPL eyes water somewhat, at the least (see thread on spinning from finals turn)
Trying to pick up the wing (as prescribed above) will not unstall the wing and therefore there will still be a chance of the wing dropping again.
If you simply action the stall recovery with simultaneous full power and forward stick until unstalled then there is zero chance of further wingdrop. Is it really that difficult?
