The turn-around maneuver is called either a stall turn or a hammerhead stall
depending upon whether you had a military/british/civvie instructor.  It is
a beautiful maneuver; almost simplicity itself provided you do not let it
develop into a tail-slide.

As far as departure stalls go, many pilots encounter this maneuver right
after takeoff in IMC, there you do not have the blue sky confronting you.
Yes, you can get into a spin but any instructor worth his/her salt knows
what will happenby by looking at the "ball".  I have taught this maneuver
in a Mooney and it can be deadly because some students panic when the
rotation starts, leaving the power on.  Needless to say, in a Mooney,
airspeed builds up quite fast.  Furthermore, anything more than one turn
in a Mooney is generally non-recoverable (yes, I know, use the door).
