Return to the altitude, heading, and airspeed specified by the evaluator.

Bottom line

When the airplane reaches the stall warning, recovery is accomplished by first reducing the AOA until the stall warning is eliminated. After reducing AOA, the pilot rolls the wings level with coordinated use of the rudder and smoothly applies power as required. Considerable forward elevator/stabilator pressure will be required after the stall recovery as the airplane accelerates to VX or VY, and appropriate trim input should be anticipated.
