What AOA should you use to recover from TP stalls?

When recovering from turning power (TP) stalls, using an angle of attack (AOA) range of 0.7 to 0.75 is effective because it is high enough to ensure that the aircraft maintains enough lift while preventing the stall from worsening. At this AOA, the aircraft is positioned to achieve a balance between lift and drag, allowing for a progressive recovery.

This range allows pilots to maintain control and facilitate a smooth recovery from the stall by maximizing the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. Operating within this AOA range promotes re-establishing flight control and speeds needed for safe maneuvering. Thus, 0.7 to 0.75 strikes a safe balance when managing recovery dynamics without pushing the aircraft back into a stalled condition.

Other options present either too low or too high AOA values, which could impede recovery or exacerbate the stall conditions. A lower AOA might not provide adequate lift, while a higher AOA could lead to another stall, highlighting the importance of the specific range recommended for effective recovery.
