How do you recover from a power-on stall?

To recover from a power-on stall, the proper action is to lower the pitch attitude to slightly below level flight. This technique effectively reduces the angle of attack, which is crucial because a stall occurs when the angle of attack exceeds a critical limit, resulting in a loss of lift. By lowering the nose, you allow airflow to re-attach to the wings, thereby increasing lift and restoring controlled flight.

Additionally, it is typically advised to add power, which is an important part of the recovery process; however, maintaining nose position or sharply pulling back on the yoke can aggravate the situation. Recovering from a stall is about smoothly transitioning the aircraft back into a normal flight attitude rather than abruptly changing its state, which could lead to further loss of control. Performing a barrel roll is not a recovery technique for stalls and would only increase the risk of losing control of the aircraft.
