Rob, I continue to be baffled.  In our "sophisticated" Honeywell systems you can command vertical speed into a stall without warning (kfc325 for example).  Trutrak let's you set a minimum airspeed so it won't do that.  Are we not in an era where the new aircraft have projected speed and paths are clearly shown and stalls are protected against?  It just seems so unbelievable that a computer wouldn't project the problem, sound bells or throttle up well before the problem became unfixable.  I can see no reason why a VS profile should ever let you hit the ground except over the runway in a flare and at the right airspeed.  Paul
