Stalling, according to CASA requires about 200ft to recover, when in reality, Military flyers have a 50 ft Max requirement, and a 10ft average height loss for stall recoveries.
Ultralights,
Be very careful of this one, CASA is not necessarily right, but neither are the ex-mil pilots. Concentration on minimum height loss in a stall was a major contributor to the loss of AF447, the A330 that went into the Atlantic.
Subsequently, Boeing and Airbus have revised their training material and recommendations for recovery from high angles of attack, to emphasize the importance of reducing the angel of attack adequately.
Some CASA office's FOIs will actually fail at pilot for any height loss in a stall recovery, during a base check, thus demanding a situation that greatly increases the likelihood of further loss of control of the aircraft. Also, most CASA FOIs seem to have difficulty with the idea that recovery from a high angle of attack at FL390 is different to being in the approach configuration at , say, 1500'.
Another example of needing to be very skeptical of what you are being told, an impossible situation for a starting student.
Recovery from a "minimum controllable airspeed" demonstration (assume it is the same as a stall, the difference for this argument are not worth worrying about) in a B727 takes about 7000'.
Sorry that this is off topic, but it is too important to let go by.
Tootle pip!!
