I find this just a little ineffectual, surely if they are advising of a real risk, they should be at least recommending you disregard the <-40 exemption ? ? or am I missing something here ?

Good point. I always turn on anti-ice even below -40 C when I see ice forming on the wiper blade.

The point made earlier about systems design error will be a central factor. There is no excuse for the stall warning not sounding all the way down to impact. That's why it is there. If both AOA probes show angle of attack past the stall it should sound period. Speed should have no effect on that. I think the effect of it not sounding led the pilots away from positively identifying the real problem.

I also take issue with the fact that there can be a stabiliser configuration that can keep the nose up into a full stall forever even if the engines are reduced to idle. But I am just a pilot and it seems I don't need to know of this until after somebody is dead.

I am all for round dials too, but I doubt anyone is listening...
