With many GA and RAA instructors adhering to the hoary old (incorrect) teaching of picking up a dropped wing with rudder,
A37575 et al.,

The above must be forgiven, as they are only complying with the "Competency Standard" published by CASA for handling a "dropped wing".
.

Interesting point. On the other hand the CASA Flight Instructors Manual states:

Quote..RECOVERY WITHOUT POWER
Control column forward to un-stall the wings. As the
speed increases ease out of the dive.
Emphasize that if a wing drops, rudder is used to prevent
yaw into the direction of the lowered wing
. The wing is
raised with aileron when it is un-stalled.

RECOVERY WITH POWER
Brief the student that the recovery using power is similar
to that when no power is used with the addition that full
power is applied at the commencement of recovery. Point
out that you will be demonstrating that use of power results
in recovery being made with a much decreased height loss
compared with the recovery without use of power.
It is important to stress that power, if used too late,
i.e. when the nose of the aeroplane has dropped below
the horizon, will result in an increased loss of height.
Stress that the recovery using power is the normal
method of recovering from a stalled condition of flight.
