Was reviewing some icing EPs and ran into something that, upon second thought, confused me on an aerodynamic level.

“The proper recovery in a tailplane stall is to pull back on the yoke to decrease the AOA of the tail.”

Thing I’m having trouble understanding is how exactly that would decrease the AOA. Intuition is telling me it does the opposite. I’m no artist, but I drew a little schematic to show y’all how I’m imagining this in my head.
