Stall recovery procedure.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Stall recovery procedure.

Bottom line

The most important stall recovery step in a multiengine airplane is the same as in all airplanes: reduce the angle of attack (AOA). At high altitudes, stall recovery will likely require losing several thousand feet. At high altitude, avoid secondary stall by using an extended nose-down recovery compared to lower altitudes.
