Hi NoD,
When would you like the stall warning to go off? Even at airspeeds below which the vane can work??
If I'm airborne - I'd like the warning to be available all the time please, especially with blocked up pitots showing Zero IAS.
the consequence of an incorrectly presented one is potentially very hazardous.
not as hazardous as the warning being inhibited when stalled - apparently.
The idea of the Stall Warning, and recovery actions, is to never get anywhere near that situation.
I agree. But if you walked onto the flight deck and found your colleagues were descending like AF 447 - do you think you might have had a better chance if the stall warning was still sounding?
I cannot see elevators having any effect at 50KIAS
The fully trimmed up elevator was doing a very good job at holding that trimmed attitude. Nose down input accelerated the aircraft - but the stall warning started again - which must have been very confusing. The real airflow air speed was much greater than 50 kts - it's the angle of attack at the entrance to the pitot which made them show so slow.
