Hi BOAC,

The stall warning 'quit' due to airspeed and not AoA reading, I believe?
You are correct. Normally the stall warning is tied to AoA, but because the sensed valid airspeed dropped to below 60 knots, the aircraft believed it was no longer flying and the stall warning ceased. At least that is my interpretation of this.
