John - it would seem this thread is going to 'run wild' away from the OP so I will take the opportunity to ask
Indeed, some, for example the larger KingAirs, generally require lots of aileron activity to achieve the required certification sequence during a stall recovery.
.

How is this achieved? Are the basic rules of aerodynamics (use of aileron on a fully stalled wing causes that wing to drop) re-written or is, perhaps, the King Air 'stall' for certification purposes not a 'stall' as such but an incipient stall? One of the essential exercises in training is (used to be!) to demonstate wingdrop if aileron is used on a stalled wing. Does the KingAir have roll spoilers perhaps? A 'standard' basic aircraft will definitely enter an incipient spin if aileron is used and this lesson needs to be re-inforced. It will be highly dangerous if the new pilots go away with the idea that aileron is 'ok'.
