Especially across all types in the Inventory?

If a type has been demonstrated to have acceptable stall recovery techniques when trimmed for initial speeds X through Y prior to slow down for a stall, but either not demonstrated OR demonstrated to have marginal or unacceptable characteristics when trimmed at speeds closer to the stall, it would be prudent to restrict training to the already demonstrated range of acceptable trim conditions.

Obviously the Part 25 regulations specify such a range, but it may be that on the specific type or types a similarly restricted range of trim conditions was applied.
