Two people in front may be a world of difference than lots of weight in back too. I would trust the POH advice more than this recommendation. | |

If you stall, just let go of the yoke but KEEP THE NOSE STRAIGHT WITH THE RUDDER PETALS. You still have control of your rudder, work those petals. The nose will gently drop (with maybe a little shudder), nose down with elevator and recover, Do not apply ailerons until you are flying. You can work on power on and power off stalls with your instructor. Use PARE. | |
