Purpose of and procedures for accelerated stalls.

Bottom line

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). Once a stall warning occurs, recover promptly by reducing the AOA until the stall warning stops.
