Altitude loss to get a 172 turned around after practice is about 600 feet.
If the pilot is surprised, panicked, or out of practice, it will be more.
If the pilot it very surprised, panicked, and out of practice, it may be
exactly equal to the altitude the maneuver was started at when he stalls due
to a combination of too much bank and pull on the yoke.
