How should control inputs be coordinated during a power-on-stall recovery?

During a power-on stall recovery, coordinated control inputs are essential to effectively regain lost lift and restore the aircraft to controlled flight. The correct approach involves using coordinated rudder and aileron inputs.

When a stall occurs, the aircraft may enter an uncoordinated state, often requiring both yaw and roll corrections. The use of rudder is important to counteract any adverse yaw created by aileron inputs, particularly when trying to maintain level flight during recovery. Simultaneously, aileron inputs are used to maintain or achieve the desired bank angle for recovery.

This coordinated effort ensures that the aircraft's control responses are smooth, minimizing the risk of further stalling or entering a spin. This is critical as poorly coordinated inputs can exacerbate the situation, leading to increased risks during recovery.

To summarize, utilizing both rudder and aileron together promotes balance and control, which are vital for successfully recovering from a power-on stall.
