I too am wondering why the plane was at 134knots clean. I hope someone will clue us in.

while some find solace in slowing to the min speed to change flap settings, in ice I will change flaps at the max speed allowed.

In one turboprop I flew, many many many years ago, I got an invalid stall warning. It was a simple short circuit in the system...but both computers were involved.

I have to ask if the stall shaker and pusher could have been triggered by something other than a genuine stall. I do hope the NTSB will take a good look at that scenario.
