Stall Legality

Hey all,

Quick question I'm having trouble finding an answer to now. It used to be that CASA stated under CAR 155 that a Steady Stall (Can't remember exact phrasing) is not an Aerobatic maneuver I believe but as far as I can see the latest version of CAR 155 no longer has that stipulation.

Under the Part 61 Dictionary it now defines Aerobatics as:
"aerobatic manoeuvres, for an aircraft, means manoeuvres of the aircraft that involve:
(a) bank angles that are greater than 60°; or
(b) pitch angles that are greater than 45°, or are otherwise abnormal to the aircraft type; or
(c) abrupt changes of speed, direction, angle of bank or angle of pitch."

I believe the issue was that Stalls could easily be considered to have an "Abrupt change in angle of pitch" or even in "Angle of Bank" but with the paragraph in CAR 155 designated that it didn't count it was all cool. What now stops CASA from being able to claim that a Stall done by a Non-Aerobatic rated Pilot for the purposes of Flight Training is illegal?

Been looking through the damned regs for ages and can't find it anymore, thanks in advance for any (Useful) help!
