ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Execute a stall recovery in accordance with procedures set forth in the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH)/Flight Manual (FM).

Bottom line

Once a stall warning occurs in an accelerated approach to stall, recover promptly by reducing the AOA until the stall warning stops, then roll the wings level with coordinated rudder and add power as necessary to return to the desired flightpath. Lowering the AOA first allows all control surfaces to become more effective and allows roll to be better controlled; thrust should only be used as needed in the recovery. If recovery is effected by snapping the elevator control forward, negative load factors may be produced.
