And what's with Cool Breeze (I think that's his handle--the youngest
guy flying the Piper), obviously a competent pilot, asking "what
happens when a plane stalls?"

I think that was more for the audience than himself. All things considered,
they did a pretty good job of getting the aviation details down. There was a
minimal amount of "Hollywood-izing" of the details and some could even be
attributed to the editing room (e.g. saying his altitude was 4000 ft and
climbing while the instruments indicated 1,250 ft and level.)

My guess is that they had a pilot available for consultation.
