Dani,

Where to Begin...

"So enlighten me:

Does your (A)OM say that Bombardier recommends using rudder during a stall?"
Dunno, I fly heavies now, had to turn my manual back in. If I had to guess, I'd say Bombardier assumes pilots will maintain coordinated flight unless landing in a crosswind.
"Of course you need rudder for power changes, and for engine failures.

I have more than 6000 hrs on Saab 2000, the most powerful and fastest turboprop in the world. Still better performance than a Q400. I hate to show off but you started."
No, you were the one with the snide remark about how we talk about airliners here... Oh, and check out the TU-114 for power, or the Avanti for speed. Not sure how they stack up against the SAAB 2000
"You simply try to belittle my argument, you don't argue to find the truth. Which is: Don't use rudder for stall recovery."
I don't use the rudder for stall recovery. But, I do use the rudder to maintain coordinated flight during a stall recovery.
I think our little discussion has gone long enough. I'll do some reading, but you'd best do some too...

Q.
