Grayhawk, I've got my own opinion of topic but it's been beat enough that I heard PETA is looking into this 'dead horse'.. I will correct one thing however, in the high performance world you still have to demonstrate approach to stall and recovery. I'm flying a Corporate Jet A burner and have done approach to stalls in the Sim AND the actualy a/c. Infact I have to do it every 6months.
Fwiw
