It appears to mean that the pitch must be straightened from a wind corrected attitude (vertical attitude of the fuselage), however this downgrade is not listed for other stall turns maneuvers within the sequence, giving the impression it is unique to this maneuver.</font></tt></pre><pre><tt style="font-size:12px"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks,
