Hello,

Willie thanks for the detailed explanation, I had not so much time to descripe it in such a detail...

@AirRabbit
"Do I understand correctly, that if you push the A/P disconnect to silence “the cavalry” charge, as someone else posted here (BTW, I like that description), the stick pusher will not activate as long as you keep the disconnect button depressed? And does that mean that when the button is released, the stick pusher will fire if the pitch attitude or AOA has not changed?"

The stickpusher will not activate as longs as you press the button. When you release it, the stick pusher will fire.
On the first flight of the day, you have to do a "Stall-test" where the Stickshaker and pusher is activated on ground. When the stickpusher is fired and you press the A/P-disconnect button, the Stickpusher is immediately deactivated. When you release the button the pusher is activated again.
