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

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

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

Bottom line

The airplane should be accelerated to VX (if simulated obstacles are present) or VY during recovery and climb. The pilot should anticipate the need for nose-down trim as the airplane accelerates to VX or VY after recovery. Losing altitude during recovery from a stall is to be expected.
