Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. For a greater margin of safety, select an altitude that leaves you 1,500 feet AGL after recovery from a stall.
