What constitutes "sharp turns" in regards to stall recovery?

The concept of "sharp turns" in stall recovery refers to the need for a pilot to avoid abrupt control movements and excessive bank angles—specifically beyond 30 degrees—during the recovery process. When an aircraft is approaching or in a stall condition, maintaining control and stability is crucial. Excessive bank angles can exacerbate the stall and lead to a loss of control or further aerodynamic issues.

By avoiding sharp turns characterized by abrupt control movements or high bank angles, the pilot helps ensure that the wings can remain effective and maintain some level of lift. Gentle, deliberate control inputs allow for a smoother recovery back to level flight without re-entering a stall situation. This principle is particularly important when recovering from a stall because a steep bank can increase the load factor on the wings and can worsen the situation, potentially leading to a spin or a deeper stall.

Options that suggest using maximum bank angles, making sharp turns, or operating at high speeds contradict the need for controlled, stable flight in stall recovery and could potentially increase the risk of further aerodynamic complications.
