A stall occurs when an airplane does not go fast enough for the wings to provide sufficient lift. The best remedy for a stall is to point the nose of the airplane downward, which helps you increase your speed.
"Pulling up is the wrong thing to do when the airplane is giving you a stall warning," said William Waldock, a professor of safety science at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University who has investigated accidents for more than 30 years. "You increase the airspeed by pushing the nose down. He's pulling up fairly abruptly. There's an old adage that airspeed is life."
