Reluctance to pushing the nose down in a stall situation
IMHO every commercial pilot should be required to have some basic aerobatic training and some stick time in an aircraft designed to be landed power off. Basic stick and rudder skills should be the foundation of every commercial pilot's armory. Regular power on landings, imminent stall recoveries and unusual attitude training just doesn't cut the mustard.
I always enjoy the opportunity to do unusual attitude training in the sim. My sim partners, most of whom have no aerobatic training, are often unreasonably fearful of the maneuvers.
