 Ron,
 
 
 
 Why would you want to "pull up" and increase the angle of attack when you
 are already close to the stalling AOA?

 Yes, this aircraft had the Pro AOA. If you don't know how, find someone who
 knows how.  If it is set properly, you will hear a "pull up" warning just
 about the time you touch down.

Good point.  I'm sure Ron mis-spoke.  WIth the AOA properly calibrated you get an aural stall warning when the AOA is 15% above the stall... the warning doesn't tell you to "pull up".... just the opposite. The lady says "Angle, Angle, PUSH" to let you know that you need to lower the nose and decrease the angle of attack.    <Marv>
