It also is somewhat type dependent.

All aircraft have a pitch change with power - mostly nose-up, occasionally nose-down.

Also some aeroplanes have a stall which is actually a pitch authority limit, rather than a true aerodynamic stall. This is particularly true at forward CG conditions.

An aircraft with either sufficient pitch-down with power, or insufficient elevator authority to achieve a true aerodynamic stall, can potentially be recovered with power alone.

Three aeroplanes I can think of for which this is true most of the time are the Thruster TST, Goldwing and the Flightdesign CT.

That said, Mad Jock is certainly correct for most common SEP types.
