Return to the altitude, heading, and airspeed specified by the evaluator.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Return to the altitude, heading, and airspeed specified by the evaluator.

Bottom line

Losing altitude during recovery from a stall is to be expected. Intentional stalls should therefore be performed at an altitude that provides adequate height above the ground for recovery and return to normal level flight.
