I think the OP is getting at it being strange that the pilot is being taught to level the wings with rudder.

Sounds like Tee Em's belief, which I share, is use rudder to stop the yaw while simultaneously relaxing the back pressure to stop the stall. Once this had been done, the aircraft will no longer be stalled, and the aircraft can be rolled back to wings level with ailerons. If anyone believes this use of ailerons will create a second stall, you need to go up and try it out for yourself.

Of course, know your individual aircraft, but using ailerons after stopping the yaw and stall in your garden variety light aircraft is unlikely to cause any problems.

Anyway, looking forward to more banter and the weekend warrior experts shooting me down.

EDIT - the above poster beat me to it! Stupid ipad keyboard is too slow!
