What is the immediate recovery action for a stall recognized in IMT 1?

When a stall is recognized, the immediate action is to reduce the angle of attack. Relaxing back pressure and lowering the nose smooths the airflow back over the wing, allowing the lift to reattach. Adding power at the same time helps accelerate, restore airspeed, and support a return to coordinated flight. This combination—lowering the nose to decrease angle of attack and increasing power to regain speed—gets you out of the stall quickly and safely. Pushing the nose up would deepen the stall by increasing the angle of attack, and entering a turn can raise the wing loading and stall speed, making recovery harder. Maintaining the nose attitude and continuing straight ahead won’t reestablish lift.
