I would certainly NOT advocate hitting TOGA in a low level stall! Nor do Boeing.
Other posters have said that although certainly a hard work, TOGA power can be used. Are some of you current pilots saying you would be able to use TOGA in a low level stall and still maintain control the aircraft, whereas others say that you could not use max power? Sounds like I might have to be careful with whom I book my next holiday.

OK. I am probably out of touch now having retired ten years ago. But it does strike me as bizarre that an aircraft can be certified if max (symmetrical) power cannot be used at ALL STAGES OF FLIGHT.

Standing by for the flak.
