Thank You for your reply FFF, and I agree AofA is fairly indepth and to a new student too complicated to deal with in the early stages. I must admit I learnt to fly in NZ under a different syllabus as these numbers you quote mean nothing to me, but I get the idea.
When I said new students I mean near to PPL standard. I constantly hear them talking about stalling as a speed! This may not be a big issue where you are located and possibly be a smaller problem than I thought.
However I think a couple of lessons of aerobatics is a great idea at some stage in their training. This is where things like 'stick position, stall position' and how far out of balance we can actually fly, can be demonstrated.
