What is the impact of more forward CG on stall recovery?

More forward center of gravity (CG) has a significant impact on stall recovery. When the CG is located more forward, it generally increases the effectiveness of the elevator control surfaces. This is due to the increased amount of control authority available to the pilot when trying to pitch the nose down, which is necessary for recovery from a stall.

When the aircraft stalls, a correct recovery involves lowering the nose to allow the wings to regain adequate airflow and lift. A forward CG allows for a more pronounced response from the elevator, making it easier for the pilot to regain control by pushing the yoke forward. This results in a more stable and effective recovery process, thereby reducing the time it takes to return the aircraft to a flyable attitude and minimizing the risk of a deeper stall or spin.

In contrast, other options hint at conditions that would make stall recovery more difficult or less effective, which does not align with the benefits provided by a forward CG. This understanding is crucial for pilots, especially during training or checkrides when demonstrating the ability to recover from stalls safely and effectively.
