Narrative:
One of the instructors I oversee had expressed some interest/concern about the stall characteristics of the SR20 that he was flying. In order to better understand this he and I practiced some stalls on a proficiency flight. During the stall we allowed the stall to fully develop and upon entering the complete stall the right wing of the plane stalled prior to the left leading to a bank (approximately 55 degrees) and a loss of altitude (approximately 25 degrees nose low). After experiencing this we climbed back up to a safe altitude and performed another stall with the same results. I do not believe that any aircraft limitations where exceeded; nor do I believe that anything unsafe occurred. The aircraft was at a safe altitude and fully controllable at all times with the pull out from the resulting dive resulting in minimal G loading and no abnormal control inputs. However there have been concerns expressed by others in the flight program and in light of these facts I thought it prudent to submit a report of the event.
