Hi DozyWannabe,
Now, according to the report this aspect of the design appears to have been instituted because of potential failures of the AoA vanes at takeoff leading to a false stall warning - which would present a hazard close to the ground (this also means that the suggestion of adding WoW switch to the trigger inputs wouldn't work)
I don't follow that logic.
If the stall warning triggers with airspeeds >60 kts, then why not simply suppress the nuisance warnings on the ground when the airspeed is <60kts AND WoW?
