Hi Owain Glyndwr,
It would surely be better to have no false stall warnings at all?
I agree. Unfortunately no one has yet designed a system which never fails.

so doesn't that satisfy your requirements?
No.
As you so eloquently explain in your earlier post
Consequently the measured airspeed was wildly different from the actual airspeed and fell to below 60 kts IAS. That, taken with the probe manufacturer's DDP was the reason for the AoA signals to be declared non valid.
despite "the aircraft never got below about 150 kts throughout the whole process."

Therefore the 60 kts IAS logic inhibited the valid AoA probe information.
The stall warning should be independent of IAS when airborne.
