Default Secondary Stall

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/12/secondary-stall.html

This stall is called a secondary stall since it may occur after a
recovery from a preceding stall. It is caused by attempting to hasten
the completion of a stall recovery before the airplane has regained
sufficient flying speed. When this stall occurs, the back-elevator
pressure should again be released just as in a normal stall recovery.
When sufficient airspeed has been regained, the airplane can then be
returned to straight-and-level flight.

This stall usually occurs when the pilot uses abrupt control input to
return to straight-and-level flight after a stall or spin recovery. It
also occurs when the pilot fails to reduce the angle of attack
sufficiently during stall recovery by not lowering pitch attitude
sufficiently, or by attempting to break the stall by using power
only.
