my question safetypee would then be, if a/s (indications) are lost, and the STALL alert appears, does the pilot know if it is appropriate to 'recover', or merely to 'avoid'. I somehow have a hard time envisioning the small stick vibrating, and then articulating 'forward' at Stall. Wouldn't you think an AI would be critical at such a time as well, rather than 'optional' ??
