I think I'm right in that dealig with stalls is one of the first things you learn
and cessnas are pretty groovy in dealing with them, really manoeuvrable and sturdy and low speed merchants if needed. From the altitude that dude had, he had a bunch of time and in Merka, they got much more in the way of landing possibilities
I could be wrong, it's been more than 30 years and I was shit at it, but circuits and stalls were a constant drill and in dual checks.
Yank done perfick though, ground control was very easy to work with too.
ooh, get me.

Apart from the confusion between an engine failure and an aerodynamic stall, you are correct
Both are taught early on, as the latter can easily follow the former...
Your cross-country flight training is basically one long ritual of "Check speed, check altitude, check heading, check forced landing options".
The other thing that I recall being drummed into me is the format of an emergency message i.e. "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, callsign, nature of emergency, intentions, location, etc". I've seen a number of these emergency situations with US pilots and I'm always struck by how casual they are with the radio, especially under emergency conditions.
Still, top marks for getting the plane on a runway, dirty side down.

and the other was the just before tail slide but engine was fine, , that bit was fun. But even on circuits at .....
