The stall warner on the C150 I learn't in never went off for the whole of my PPL.
Was first shown to suck on it during my walk round ( the stall warner). And quickly thought that was bloody stupid idea so didn't bother.
Did the course and the three instructors never made a comment it not going off during stalls.
On the final practise I was given a new Riddle instructor to break in and show JAR methods to.
He watched me do the walk round and gave me a bollocking for not checking the stall warner. I lied and said i had never been shown how. At which point he gave it a good suck and ended up with 2 months of compacted Love bugs and other beasties in his mouth. At which point he barfed. But give him credit the stall warner did work in the next flight. And to this day i have never felt the urge to find out if the constipated duck works on a pre flight check.

And to answer the question.
1. High load stall in the cessna after say a spin recovery ie the pilot trys to pull the nose up to hard to stop the plane going through Vne.
2. When the plane stall warner is a wee bit to liable to go off. It has been know for instructors to stick a bit of chewing gum on it after the student has done there walk round to stop it going off on every gust.
