I do not agree. Theory should be taught on the ground, actions should be taught in the air. The concept of AoA and its role in the stall and stall recovery is theory. What you need to do in the airplane is
lower the nose in order to unstall the aircraft therefor that is what I believe instructors should be telling presolo students when teaching ex 12.
Why should the stall be any different then all the other practical aspect of presolo ab intitio training. For example when you want the student to increase power do you tell them to "open the carburetor throttle valve" or "push the throttle in" ?
