ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Avoid any indication of an impending stall, abnormal flight attitude, or exceeding any structural or operating limitation during any part of the Task.

Bottom line

Full application of pitch, roll, or yaw controls should be confined to speeds below the maneuvering speed. Load factors become significant to both flight performance and load on wing structure as the bank increases beyond approximately 45 degrees. At speeds above VA or VO, the airplane can reach its design load limit at less than the critical AOA, making it possible to add additional load and overstress the airplane.
