Plain English Meaning

The steps a pilot takes to get the wing flying again after it has stalled — push the nose down to reduce the angle of attack, level the wings, add power, and climb back to the altitude they want.

Full Definition

The pilot actions taken to break a stall and return the wing to normal lift-producing flight. The standard recovery sequence is: reduce the angle of attack by lowering the nose (releasing back pressure or applying forward control input), level the wings with coordinated rudder and aileron, apply appropriate power, and return to the desired with minimum loss of altitude.
