Re: Asking what would the the second thing to do after looking at AoA value when hearing STALL STALL.

What is so important about the AoA number that the aircraft is telling you in your subsequent decision process. If you need to question the stall warning then why do you believe the actual AoA, it's coming from the same system....

Me, the first thing I'd look at is a horizon (an AoA indicator of sorts of course, but which also tells me whether my wings are level. Two birds with one stone....)

BOAC's attitude is interesting, a remarkable desire to blame the aircraft with zero evidence to go down that track. One wonders if this is relevant to this accident, the CVR should be key to working out the contributing factors, one wonders what else was said. Perhaps a "What's it doing now" ???
