Stall recovery is such a basic part of abinitio training that we are aways surprised when another pilot makes the same mistake. Something is clearly going wrong in the human factors department. Is some basic animal instinct taking over the brain ? What other clues could we give to break the panic reaction ?
Well I was shouted down before but it's misleading to say you recover from a stall by "lowering the nose". To recover you need to move the control column/stick/sidestick (centrally) forward
until the stall identification ceases - this applies whether it's a Tiger Moth or an A320 (ok yes I know some parts of the recovery might be type specific) - and before anyone jumps on this I have extensive experience in light and heavy (transport) a/c.
Even in basic training I still hear people muttering "lower the nose"!
