The amount of chuff I've heard over the years from people who have no clue about the relationship between angle of bank and stall speed is astounding!

You can roll an aircraft to any flipping angle of bank you want without an increase in stalling speed as long as you don't load it up with G. People seem to lose sight of the fact that examples given to demonstrate the increase in stalling speed for a given angle of bank are only related to maintaining level flight in a turn.

For my own aircraft I know off the top of my head the 1, 2, 3 and 4g stalling speeds as these are of far more use no matter what amount of pitch or roll I have on.

Getting back to the original question, I was flying a G1000 C182 a fair bit until recently and the stall warner on that would go off so far above the actual stall that it was more of an annoyance than a benefit for a short field approach!
