ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Identify, assess, and mitigate risks commonly associated with flight instruction by maintaining: c. Overall situational awareness of the aircraft’s dynamic state, its position in space, and vigilance for unexpected events or changing circumstances that occur in the environment

Bottom line

The flight instructor should point out that situational awareness is not being maintained if the learner diverts too much attention away from other tasks, such as controlling the aircraft or scanning for traffic. Stay alert for the unexpected either from the learner or external elements.
