Student Stall Crash Video

Can’t remember if it was on the pts or not, but the curriculum we had for cfi had us learn and demonstrate elevator trim stalls. It’s for exactly what you described and the few private students I had I made sure to have them do a few. I was also a big stickler for telling my students to trim. Hell, I’d say a solid 50% of good stick and rudder skills is knowing how to trim and to trim OFTEN.

I got my PPL in 2001, don't remember any training on elevator trim stalls. Must have been something taught afterwards.
 
It definitely wasn’t something in out syllabus for pvt students. Just initial cfi.

I don't even really mess with trim on landing. I've usually already inputted my trim and with my speed set and full flaps and only playing with power on the decent. In a balked landing as was shown, I smoothly input power, nose up and retract one notch of flaps. I could be wrong, but it also looked like the student pilot had a rather high AOA, possibly also leading to getting slow and also the associated stall.

One of my pet peeves on the CRJ, hearing the stab trim (running) horn during the flare. Like, seriously man?

That's pretty much the way I do it as well, and even hard rules have exceptions. 2 or 300 feet and I'm pretty much done with trim at that point.

That’s not possible with most aircraft.

My Super Viking requires 16 full turns on the trim.
 
didnt you just get your MEL? And the Super Viking is a single engine tricycle gear plane

I did, yes, as you saw on the face pages. But what I was trying to say is that my experiences flying single engines, is only in DA40's and 172's, thus that is my landing technique. In response to @fholbert saying that what I'd said wasn't possible in many aircraft. I guess that maybe I could have said it better. Hopefully I have with this explanation.
 
elevator trim stalls in the CFI syllabus I seem to remember, but not necessarily the PTS/ACS.
