"I think the stall came about because when the PIC was handed control he slightly pulled the sidestick back while trying to maintain roll orientation. At that altitude and airspeed the plane was close to stalling and the slight mishandling pushed it to give the warning - the pilot then did what would have been fine if the control law was "normal" and gave it full throttle (causing a hard pitch up) and pulled back, confident that the alpha protection would prevent the stall that was already occurring."


Had the StallWarning been a result of temporary (close to) AOAcrit exceedance, he would have known the AC was in ALTLAW, right? He also would have known ROLLDIRECT was in charge of ailerons, right? The aircraft will NOT Stall in NORMAL LAW. Why would STALLWARN not be sufficient notice to pilots of a change in control action? If the STALLWARN Will sound in NORMAL LAW, would he not expect ALPHAPROT To control AoA?

Thanks for responding, food for thought.
