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?
Indeed this can happen.. only if you don't check your airspeed ... (who was under 60 knots) and if you don't know the specifications of your aircraft ...
Anyway .. when you read 60 knots (all parameters indicated that this speed was valid) on the speed indicator of an A330 .. you can deduce two things:
Or you are rolling on ground
Or if you are in the air ... your plane is no more flying .. he is falling like a stone ... (check altimeter)
