ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Configure the airplane as recommended by the manufacturer, and accelerate to best angle of climb speed (VX) or best rate of climb speed (VY).

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). The airplane should be accelerated to VX (if simulated obstacles are present) or VY during recovery and climb.
