ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Describe and demonstrate conditions that lead to an elevator trim stall for future avoidance.

Bottom line

At the time a pilot decides to go around, a trim setting for low airspeed is in place. The pilot should anticipate the need for considerable forward elevator pressure to hold the nose level or in a safe climb attitude. Allowing the nose to rise too early could result in an unrecoverable stall when the go-around occurs at a low altitude.
