ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Acknowledge the cues at the first indication of a stall (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.).

Bottom line

Indications of an impending stall can include buffeting, stick shaker, or aural warning. Pilots should react to and correct for any stall indication. When the airplane reaches the stall warning, recovery is accomplished by first reducing the angle of attack until the stall warning is eliminated.
