stall warning and when to panic
I often fly with a much more experienced pilot. Conducting night circuits for recency requirements, I was a little perplexed turning onto final from base with a little wind behind us that my more experienced friend was banking greater than 30 degrees while the stall warning alarm was going off at 500 feet, yet didn't do anything to correct i.e. increase speed or reduce bank angle. My friend does have a a slight hearing problem so I assumed he was not hearing the stall warning. We did a touch and go but on crosswind he said he was happy with the speed turning final. I have only 250 hrs and I have a spinning endorsement but my friend has over 2000hrs and I was a little freaked out that he wasn't concerned about the stall warning alarm going off at 500 feet. Am I just too pedantic? I would really like advice form those with more experience.
