ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Entry and recovery procedures.

Bottom line

Should a stall occur while the airplane is under asymmetrical power, a spin entry is likely. During a VMC demonstration, symptoms of an impending stall include a stall warning light or horn, airframe or elevator buffet, or sudden loss of control effectiveness. Recovery from the VMC demonstration is made to straight flight on the entry heading at VSSE or VYSE; the pilot then increases power to the operating engine and demonstrates controlled flight before restoring symmetrical power.
