Default How much aerodynamics should pilots know?

We even had an idiot kill, almost all, of a village's tribal council. The final ruling came back saying that the plane had an elevator stall, not by the main wings as traditionally thought of. The problem is, if you try real hard, to enter an elevator stall the recovery procedures are almost the exact opposite of the main wing stalling (hence their deaths).
Could you please tell me the approximate month and year plus aircraft type as I'd like to read the accident report. Sounds very interesting
