Just one comment on the difference I found with CAA versus FAA Type Rating courses I have been through. The FAA minimum height loss rule during stall training concentrated more on height loss to pass the test, rather than teaching lowering the nose enough to unstall, and then concentrate on min height loss, as in the CAA sylabus.
While it all comes down to situational awareness (recognizing the unanticipated stall, and recognizing how much room is available to recover) - in the real world I'd concentrate on getting the damn machine flying again!
