Question

As a non-pilot I have a question. I know this is off-topic but it has been bugging me reading this forum.

What I do not understand is the sequence "IAS declines - stall warning sounds - stall procedure initiated". If the IAS declines during a well defined stable cruise with a specific engine thrust I would think that the stall warning and IAS would immediately be suspect. In fact a stall procedure at this stage might even be unsafe.
