I understand what you are getting at, but, believe it or not, if you are in a spin, in some planes, the nose is already down.

so, instead of saying: pitch nose down...it would be better if we all just PUSHED FORWARD ON THE STICK (control wheel or sidestick).

AND we should have learned this in our first lesson in a plane.

And Wolfgang Langweische, a great author of "stick and rudder" wrote about this over 70 years ago.

But you see, some smart ass somewhere said: oh, just ''relax back pressure"...and sometimes that is not enough.


So...here we are, 70 years AFTER
"STICK AND RUDDER" was published and we still don't get out of stalls right.

There is a good chance you will never have a problem...just ask your pilot : have you read, "stick and rudder"?
