Total layman here so please excuse me. I'm just a tad confused about something:

Ironbutt said
Airbus says to "respect the stall warning, as it is generated by AOA, not air data,
But I seem to remember reading on one of the other numerous threads that below a certain airspeed, the stall warning stops. If this is the case, then if they pulled up, with very low airspeed and a nasty AoA, then wouldn't the stall warning stop giving the impression that there was no stall? Then when pushing nose down, the stall warning would start again when airspeed increased above the limits 'causing' them to pull up again to wrongly get out of the stall?

Even if that was the case, shouldn't they have known about this behaviour?

Obviously if I'm totally wrong, I'll butt out again... Sorry.

Thanks for all your input, this is a very interesting read.
