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

Symptoms of an impending stall include a stall warning light or horn, airframe or elevator buffet, or sudden loss of control effectiveness. Noise within the flight deck may mask the sound of the stall warning horn. The aerodynamic effects of the uncoordinated, cross-control stall can surprise the unwary pilot.
