As opposed to what SHOULD be done. Lower the nose right away like is taught in primary training, even if it means an initial loss of altitude to recover airspeed.
Yes, I knew what mike was driving at. Airliners typically have about a 0.25-0.30 to 1 thrust to weight ratio. I was just highlighting that even at the ridiculous end of the T:W ratio scale (1:1 or 1.2:1), you
still need to do the basics that you have stated above.
As Atlas said:
Who the hell approaches to a stall anyway?
Part of the problem is the training scenarios are unrealistic. They should be practiced three ways:
1. Normal approach, distraction, inadvertantly get slow, and
actually get in a stall. (Colgan 3407). Sim set-up would be so that when you come off-freeze, you are in the shaker.
2. Same as above, but engine-out!
3. Turbulence/upset/unusual attitude at high-altitude, low-speed, and trimmed very nose-up (ie, it would take considerable nose-down force to recover).
