So, an aircraft flying at high TAS and Mach number but at low IAS (because at a high altitude close to its ceiling) and high AoA close to stall already
- and the point I was making is that THAT is not a 'high speed stall', is it?!!! Hence the confusion. It is actually a 'low speed stall'.

Regarding 'updrafts', they are normally so short-lived that any significant change in AoA would be over before there was any response. Also any pilot 'worth his salt' would not be flying in those conditions at those speeds.

For the OP, as Intruder said, we are looking primarily at 'upset' recovery, not stall/spin. Normal 'upset' recovery would be to 'nurse' the a/c back to where you wanted it.
