Tingtang:

For my CPL test in the DA42, the stalls I had to perform were:

1. Clean stall - Maintaining altitude with power at idle, entering a full stall, then recovering with minimum height loss.

2. Approach Stall/Base-to-final Stall - Approach flaps and gear down, start a 180 degree level turn, then once half way through the turn reduce power to aprx. 25%, and recover at the first sign of the approaching stall (which 99% of the time is the stall warner beeping).

3. Finals Stall - Set up with approach flap and gear down, perform a lookout turn, once the turn is complete select normal power for final approach with normal rate of descent, and select landing flap. Once flap is fully lowered, select aprx. 25% power, and reduce the rate of descent. Recover at the first sign of the approaching stall.


Some of the other GH was medium turns/steep turns, followed by limited panel (which is just the pfd covered up) where I did compass turns and unusual attitude recoveries. And of course all the one-engine-inop stuff.

Hope that's helpful.
