ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Secondary stalls, accelerated stalls, elevator trim stalls, and cross-control stalls.

Bottom line

A premature increase in AOA that results in another full stall during stall recovery, prior to a stable flight condition being established. Accelerated approach to stall should be performed with a bank of approximately 45°, and in no case at a speed greater than the airplane manufacturer’s recommended airspeed, the specified design maneuvering speed (VA), or operating maneuvering speed (VO).
