Speaking as a PPL Examiner......
Standard stall recovery..... Reduce angle of attack and once aircraft is flying
smoothly and progressively apply power ensuring that you apply rudder
as required. Then pitch up and climb.
So.....
Reduce AoA, get flying, apply power climb away. Simples.
I agree that reducing the AoA is the most important (only) way of
recovering from a stall.
But, as BEagle says, your description is NOT a Standard Stall Recovery
and is NOT what should be looked for in a PPL Skill Test.
The aim of a SSR is to recover from a stall/impending stall with
minimum
height loss and, to acheive this, full power should be applied at the same
time (or only just slightly behind) the AoA being reduced by moving
the Stick forward.
From CAA Handling Sense Leaflet 2:
o Move the control yoke (column) centrally
forward to unstall the wings .
o Simultaneously apply full power (if available),
keeping the aircraft in balance.
Then, once the aircraft is un-stalled (flying smoothly) Roll (with ailerons)
the wings horizontal if required and then pitch up in to a climbing (my pref.)
or level flight attitude.
