ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Acknowledge the cues at the first indication of a stall (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.).

Bottom line

Indications of an impending stall can include buffeting, stick shaker, or aural warning. Impending Stall—an impending stall occurs when the AOA causes a stall warning, but has not yet reached the critical AOA. The longer it takes for the pilot to recognize an impending stall, the more likely it is that a full stall will result.
