In that light, every release from tow can be a simulated PT3 maneuver.

First step in PT3 is to push stick forward, then AFTER establishing stable airspeed, initiating a steep turn. People stall-spin on PT3 because they initiate the turn before establishing stable airspeed.

Pushing the stick forward after pulling the tow release, and before initiating the turn, is asking for trouble.
