Thanks for the link CogSim. I'm downloading it now... I'm not familiar with the reg, but I hope it's not one of those times when the pilots "instinct" was to pull up, as his stalled aircraft plummeted earthward. ....you see, I'd call that a layman's instinct, not a pilot's. Any "pilot" worthy of carrying hapless folks in his machine had better instinctively KNOW how to get out of a stall. (in truth, he should know how to avoid getting there in the first place, but that's certainly not "instinctive".)
