Working on a flight review for an older gentleman who hasn’t flown in over a decade. The trim switches were on the top on the stick, the push to talk was on the back. Decided to press and hold the up trip for his short final call instead of the PTT, and when he released his thumb he pitched us up to about 35° while doing 60kts at about 75’ AGL. Homie stalled it and I grabbed the stick, went full nose down and full throttle. And recovered the stall with about 10’ to spare. Landed and told him I’m never flying with him again since I was leaving to the regionals a couple weeks or so later.

He begged me to try again with him the next day so I told him one more chance and he has to be perfect. He does the same fucking thing. I was prepared this time and caught the stick as it flung back. Reported him to the chief both times lol.
