If I recall correctly, that was part of my flight test, stalling in approach config, descending turn. That stall will fulfil 3 of the requirements in the Part 61 flight test report:
Aeroplane advanced manoeuvres
(i) incipient stall;
(ii) stall without power applied;
(iii) stall from straight and level;
(iv) stall in the approach configuration;
(v) stall while turning; and
(vi) at least one of the following:
(A) stall with full power applied;
(B) stall while climbing;
(C) stall while descending.
My instructor did take me into cloud, scared the bejesus out of me even after lots of work under foggles - not remotely the same! We did a 180 - but all my training deserted me and I threw it into a fairly steep turn before I remembered rate 1 was the go.
