ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Select an entry altitude that allows the Task to be completed no lower than 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL) (ASEL, ASES) or 3,000 feet AGL (AMEL, AMES).

Bottom line

Intentional stalls should therefore be performed at an altitude that provides adequate height above the ground for recovery and return to normal level flight. Losing altitude during recovery from a stall is to be expected.
