Can I caution people to be careful when using the apparently simple phrase "full stall" as this means different things to different people. A full aerodynamic stall can be rather different that a full (certification/demonstration/flight test - pick your term) stall, especially on an envelope protected aircraft. So whether a specific OEM supports a "full stall" may be very dependent on what EXACTLY you mean.

There is no difference between envelope protected and unprotected aircraft as far as stall is concerned because unless protections are removed the aircraft won't stall. The difference can be in aircraft behaviour between flight path stable and speed stable aircraft.

Good thing I did full stall on my last type rating sim. Possible cause might be I was trained by the Dutch, rather than the Europeans.
