Whilst I understand that there are many factors....

There are certain situations where the stall warning and overspeed will sound at the same time, based on an actual previous pitot/static errors that resulted in a crash.

The key lesson to recover is POWER + ATTITUDE = PERFORMANCE, the message is if in doubt set a logical POWER + ATTITUDE and the PERFORMANCE will work.

Like Colgan Air, if you lose sight of the basic tenants of flying and chase an altitude, attitude or performance without consideration of all factors you will not stand a chance. If in doubt, set an AoA using a logical ATTITUDE (which will closely relate to AoA), set a reasonable POWER, the laws of physics will not cause a catastropic break up unless the AHRS has failed and you are accidentally set 20 degs nose low.

If you performance fly and chase an airspeed, altitude or VSI reading you will lose sight of the basics.

No criticism of others, I know that at night in a CB it is confusing, but its just how I fly.
