There is a situation that occurs in jet aircraft that is extremely unlikely in your Cessna. Jets can stall both at low speed and at high speed. In a high speed stall at high altitude a lot of pilots pull the nose up instinctively in order to reduce airspeed. This increases the load and exacerbates the stall. The correct procedure is to unload the wing and reduce the thrust to slow the aircraft back into normal speed regimes...
