Stall warning(s) during normal operations.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Stall warning(s) during normal operations.

Bottom line

Indications of an impending stall can include buffeting, stick shaker, or aural warning. Speed by itself is not a reliable parameter to avoid a stall; an airplane can stall at any speed. When the airplane reaches the stall warning, recovery is accomplished first by reducing the AOA until the stall warning is eliminated.
