His friend told him he could recover from a power-off stall by simply adding full power and climbing out of it without ever releasing backpressure on the yoke. I had to remind him he was flying a 152, not an Extra.

No actually.

So far removed are we from flying that, when I was at American Eagle, a tech notice came out reminding us that the elevator is to be used to break a stall. (In fairness, they were speaking about stalls at altitude, in which you can't "power out," not down low, but still. Angle of attack is angle of attack.)

Kinda sad that you need a tech notice to remind professional pilots of something that even student pilots need to know.

Yeah, well, apparently, the problem is down there in primary, and now the professionals get to deal with it.

I blame the practical test standards.
