well, first off there is no stick pusher , shaker yes, big "STALL" light in front of your face.
I can imagine that not having engine anti ice on is a big part of this, you always protect with ice protection in cloud or storm.
To not notice 90 knot loss of speed over a 5 minute period is awful.
TO pull UP in a stall is wrong too.
This is not a weakness to the type. You either select an altitude, power setting and ice protection, and consider them all in your decision making or you don't. IF not enough power is available with ice protection for a given weight and altitude THEN YOU ARE TOO HIGH and must descend. THIS IS A WEAKNESS with all airplanes, not just this type
5 minutes, FIVE MINUTES without looking at airspeed is criminal.
EVERY PILOT better reconsider how the wing flys. Back to basics. In the old T configuration of Steam Gauges, the first one , reading left to right, IS THE AIRSPEED.
Guessing this plane had old steam gauge or mixture, if anyone knows for sure, let us all know.
AIRSPEED must be in your scan, certainly more often nearer the ground, but you better look at it in cruise!
