Stall warning

I'm amazed. What prevented you from doing the appropriate thing and drop the nose half a degree or so?

A propos stall warning. In Interim Report #2 BEA explains that stall warning starts when the AoA exceeds approx. 10 degrees at M=0.3, and at approx. 4 degrees at M=0.8. The update now provides a third datapoint of 6 degrees at M=0,633 (extrapolated backwards from 185 kt 15 seconds later). These points relate to alphamax as shown in this graph.
