In stall training, what does full up elevator do during a stall?

During a stall, the application of full up elevator actually increases the angle of attack of the wing. This is significant because a stall occurs when the angle of attack exceeds the critical angle, leading to a loss of lift. By pulling back on the yoke or stick, the pilot raises the nose of the aircraft, which can inadvertently raise the angle of attack further.

In stall training, it is critical for pilots to understand that using full up elevator will not prevent the stall and may exacerbate the situation. Instead, the correct recovery procedure involves reducing the angle of attack by pushing the yoke forward to lower the nose, thereby regaining lift. It's essential for pilots to learn how to recognize and manage their aircraft's attitude to effectively recover from stalls, rather than unintentionally increasing the angle of attack through the application of full up elevator.
