ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Transition smoothly from the approach or landing attitude to a pitch attitude that induces a stall.

Bottom line

To initiate a power-off approach to stall maneuver, the area surrounding the airplane should first be cleared for possible traffic. A stabilized descent should be established (approximately 500 fpm) and trim adjusted. The pilot should then smoothly increase the AOA to induce a stall warning.
