Stall warning(s) during normal operations.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Stall warning(s) during normal operations.

Bottom line

The real danger is inadvertent stalls induced by distractions during routine flight situations, not intentional practice of stalls and spins. Indications of an impending stall can include buffeting, stick shaker, or aural warning. When the airplane reaches the stall warning, recovery is accomplished first by reducing the AOA until the stall warning is eliminated.
