Stall warn inhibit

NigelOnDraft

You say you don’t like WoW as an inhibit for the stall warning because LGCIUs fail relatively frequently.

You will, no doubt, recall the wingstrike at Hamburg (A320, 1st May 2008). The aircraft thought it was on the ground (the LH LGCIU detected WoW) and it switched to ground mode. Even though both pilots had full right stick it wasn’t enough to stop the wingstrike because in ground mode roll control is halved.

What are the implications of a faulty LGCIU triggering ground mode in flight?
