stall warning signal

[flint007]

hello to All!

a quick question please: how would one hear/acknowledge the stall warning signal if you're wearing headphones--is there a visual associated with the audio? Thanks to All in advance.

Visual, the vertical speed indicator drops, the nose may drop.

If you don't hear the horn, it may be busted.

There aren't any flashing lights or another guy poking you in the arm unless you are in a super fancy airplane.

The trick is to sense a stall before you're in one.......

The horn is kinda cute, but the controls will also get mushy as you approach the stall, plus you've got slipstream noise changes and, ultimately, the "stall buffet"-- although by that time you'd better be dropping the nose. Any more experienced guys wanna chip in and elaborate on how to "feel" the stall?

When I was a CFI I used to disconnect the wires to the stall horn and tape them to the yoke. I'd say,"Now Jimmy, whatever happens, you don't let go of that yoke or something reeeeeal bad's gonna happen...OK? Then I'd take them up for their first stall lesson. Man...talk about the Law of Intensity! They'd be all writhing in pain and yelling "MY HANDS!, MY HANDS!" or some nonsense. It was hard to hear since I'd be laughing so hard plus I'd have the windows open to keep the smoke from gettin' too bad.

I flew a super fancy Cherokee Six 260 HP that had only a big red light on the dash for a stall warning. It was kind of cute and had the word "stall" written on it.

After getting into, then immediately exiting an unintended icing encounter in this plane with some skydiver friends on the way to Beckley WV, a slab of ice started to slide off the leading edge and moved the stall tab up, illuminating the light. One of the jumpers leaned forward and asks, "Hey, what's that red light mean?"

I didn't want to freak the guy out, so I told him it was the hydraulic pump indicator reminding me that we had enough pressure to extend the gear for landing. He bought it.

Our aircraft have a light with no horn - but you feel it coming anyway...

A horn isn't the only way to skin the cat. As was mentioned above, some types may use a light instead of a horn. A Victa Airtourer's stall warning system consists entirely of airframe buffet (flaps up) & a stall horn sounds only with flap extended.

you can say that again

warning horn, sluggish controls, buffet, and if that is not enough, for some The "stick shaker" will do it for those that have it.
