And how did this topic come up with X Mesaba people? I can tell you that when I flight instructed I taught it differently than Mesaba did. We did clearing turns and set up for the stall (knew it was coming) and during the recovery concentrated on minimal altitude loss and airspeed not so much. We were basically right on the edge through much of the recovery. Same way they taught it at Pinnacle and a few other regionals, not all. Mesaba taught it as a surprise event, although you still knew it was coming, with the focus on airspeed and acceptable altitude loss. Meaning if you got outside PTS standards but were correcting towards them it was acceptable.
