ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Recognize and recover at the first indication of loss of directional control, stall warning, or buffet.

Bottom line

The moment the pilot first recognizes the uncontrollable yaw, or experiences any symptom associated with a stall, the pilot simultaneously retards the throttle for the operating engine to stop the yaw and lowers the pitch attitude to regain speed. Recovery is made to straight flight on the entry heading at VSSE or VYSE.
