captainsmiffy:
Why the concern, at 2300', about height loss in a stick shaker recovery?
It all comes down to training and situational awareness. If you're trained in minimum height loss, your altitude is not part of the recovery equation.
If you're trained in getting the airplane flying again, you weigh the option of trading a bit of height for airspeed.
BTW - I've been meaning to ask: If an aircraft is susceptible to tailplane stall, is the stick shaker/pusher active for that condition?
