Approach to Stall or Stall Recovery
Do all recoveries from approach to stall as if an actual stall has occurred.
Immediately do the following at the first indication of stall (buffet or stick
shaker).
Note: Do not use flight director commands during the recovery.
WARNING: *If the control column does not provide the needed
response, stabilizer trim can be needed. Excessive use
of pitch trim can aggravate the condition, or can result
in loss of control or in high structural loads.
