What is the recommended approach to practicing stalls in IMT 1?

The main idea is that stall training should be done safely and progressively, with supervision and adequate altitude margins. Practicing stall recognition and recovery under an instructor in a controlled environment gives you real aircraft feedback while you learn the correct recovery steps: reduce angle of attack, apply and coordinate the appropriate recovery inputs (usually gentle nose-down to regain airspeed, then smooth back to level flight), and manage power as needed. The instructor provides immediate guidance, ensures you stay within safe energy and flight-path limits, and maintains sufficient altitude so you can recover without risk. This approach is preferred because it builds correct technique in a real airplane with proper oversight and a safety buffer. Practicing during rapid descent is risky and not appropriate for early training. High-altitude solo stall practice lacks supervision and adequate margins, increasing risk. Relying only on a simulator misses important sensations and aircraft responses you’ll encounter in flight.
