a system and related methods for providing stall recovery guidance symbology via a head - up display or similar avionics display element detects stall or near - stall conditions and provides symbology to guide the pilot through recovering from the stall by prioritizing pitch correction and disengagement of the autopilot system . pitch correction symbology guides the pilot toward reducing the aircraft angle of attack and establishing level flight , while thrust recovery symbology helps the pilot control the application of thrust to avoid prolonging or reinstituting the stall . the system modifies the stall recovery symbology in response to detected changes in pitch , angle of attack , or airspeed . once level flight has been established and stall conditions are no longer present , the system may transition out of stall recovery mode to regular inflight symbology .
