Stall vane
Hi,
Earlier today while discussing Citation CJ3 stall characteristics we ended up realising that almost all aircraft we manage to recall (mostly single/twin engine props) have the stall warning vane, or the stall warning system for that matters, located at the left wing leading edge.
Off course we could not find a logical reason for that, besides, convenience, coincidence or perhaps some old standard that was kept over the years.
Could someone shed some light on this?
Cheers

I would of thought its to allow the P1 a better view to check for ice build up or fod damage etc should it start playing up.
All single system citations have the probe/vane on the STB fus' just behind the cockpit area. Dual systems have another probe on the portside between cockpit and main door.
