Captain Dubois has been hearing the continuous STALL warning since he was behind the locked door. How long did he spend behind the door waiting for someone to unlock it, we don't know, no mention of the cockpit call on the CVR ... ?
When finally he got in, the continuous STALL warning has ceased. For him the STALL is something from the past ... what's going on now that is
not a stall ?
