During Slow Flight, what is the MRA altitude for dual and solo respectively?

During slow flight, the minimum recovery altitude is the buffer height you need to safely recover to controlled flight from a stall or unusual attitude. With an instructor on board (dual), you have immediate assistance, so a lower margin is acceptable: 1500 feet AGL. When flying solo, there’s no instructor to help, so you require a larger safety margin: 2000 feet AGL. Therefore, the correct combination is 1500 AGL for dual and 2000 AGL for solo.
