From BEagle - "Dan - RTFQ!! The discussion here is about incipient stalling. Not many SEP aircraft will exhibit buffet as the first warning..."

Thanks BEagle. You stopped being my CFI over a year ago and you're still b0llocking me!

Yes, I agree. But whether the first warning you receive is the high nose attitude, the low and decreasing airspeed, the less effective controls, the artificial warnings or the light buffet - the recovery should still be the same. Apply full power, prevent yaw with rudder and move the control column centrally forward until the buffet stops. If there is no buffet, then there is no need to move the control column - if at all - and then the prioity is to control the attitude. This is what I was tought, what I tought for 6 years as an RAF QFI and then a few years more in your club.
