Ok, so say you are post-solo and approved to perform stalls OR you are
a private pilot.

Is it smart to go out and practice stalls on a normal basis? For
proficiency and for fun?

Or are stalls something you should only being doing for training?


I'm a private pilot and I practice stalls and all of the other
manuevers in the PTS on a regular basis. As a student, I did the same
thing post solo.

Regularly practicing these kinds of manuevers keeps my skills sharp.
For the kind of flying I do, it's important to be comfortably in
control of the plane in the slow side of the envelope. I know of a
few pilots who only do an hour of manuevers every two years during a
BFR. Their flying tends to be a bit more sloppy than a newly minted
PPL.
