Incidentally, 'A' is indeed for 'airframe'.
Actually, I'm surprised you don't advocate conducting one of your half hour monologues before stalling, BPF.....
I think we have taken up enough band width on a pretty trivial issue. I am sure that you will agree that the important point is that prior to conducting manoevers that may result in high pitch or bank angles, an organized check of the factors that could degrade the safety of the exercise should be carried out.
I would also hope that you agree that this Check should not be mindlessly rattled off , but rather a clear understanding of the factors actually relevant to the configuration and position of the aircraft and to the manoever being carried out, should be present.
I am rather offended by your comment about a " half hour monologue before stalling" I would not and have not ever advocated such silliness. I am happy to see people disagree with what I have said as it forces me to re-evaluate what I post and the debate gives every reader things to be think about ; however if you are going to take a shot at me at least do me the favor of being accurate......
