In the Power On Stalls Takeoff Configuration, what is the maximum bank angle specified?

In a power-on stall performed in takeoff configuration, you’re training to recognize and recover from a stall while still having enough bank to reflect real takeoff conditions, but not so much bank that recovery becomes difficult. The maximum bank angle specified for this maneuver is 20 degrees. This keeps the wings loaded enough to feel the stall and maintain control effectiveness from the ailerons and rudder, while limiting load factor and adverse yaw that could make recovery harder. Bank angles higher than this (such as 25 or 30 degrees) would push the airplane into more aggressive roll and more challenging recovery, and a smaller angle (like 15 degrees) would reduce the realism of the takeoff-stall scenario.
