DC-ATE the aircraft types that you quote are relatively old. If your experiences are similarly dated, then since that time the FAA and US industry view of stall recovery has change significantly. The old focus on minimum height loss (applicable on final when more flap might be unavailable), has changed to AOA reduction and specific techniques related to the characteristics of modern aircraft, i.e. follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Oh, I have no problem with your comment about the "age" of the aircraft I flew. I'm even older than they are!! However, although I don't have any current manuals, I would imagine the stall recovery procedures for those aircraft I listed haven't changed. But, naturally, I could be wrong. Nevertheless, the procedures worked back then! Maybe we'd better go back to those types instead of all this "new" stuff that the procedures have to be changed all the time.
