BOAC, the thousands of hours spent in a Cessna 150 giving dual reminds me of the stall warning right at touch down. I would never want to hear it in an airliner. We were never exposed to that in airliners because it was well before stall. One time in 23,000 hrs I got a stick shaker in a 727 on a tight turn with speed brakes out at night going into Puerto Plata. I immediately stowed the speed brakes and landed normally. I appologized to my copilot even though he didn't care because it had never happened before or after in my career or his. Stowing the speedbrake fixed the problem because the speed was right, the speebrake brake caused the alert.
