Stall buzzer

[EskimoJoe]

Alright, I was wondering what the use for the stall buzzer was. I currently have it turned off (the sound, at least), because I know by feel when I'm just about to stall.

Basically, should I the stall buzzer back on, and why?

[uberslet]

i leave my stall buzzer on just because im not always thinking about how fast i am, and i know that i would surely stall if it wasnt for the buzzer

Stall buzzer & buffet tell me the low end of the speed range I'm in. Wind tells me the upper end, both without having to look at the gauge. Eyes on the target, and learn to feel where you are speed wise. Stall buzzer is good feedback for that.

However if you feel you have it nailed go ahead and leave it off. Thats your choice.

i leave mine off. dont fly by instruments to often. unless i am stall fighting but i still leave it off and fly with insturments

[Lusche]

It's very much depending on personal preference. If you feel comfortable without it, leave it off. If it helps and doesn't sound annoying to you, leave it on.
I have disabled it for years.

the buzzer starts before you csan really feel anything. can you feel an acclerated stall comming on?

If you're just turning the buzzer off because it's so annoying, you can switch the sound to a "buffeting wind" stall buzzer sound instead of a "buzzer" sound.  That's what I've done, as I prefer to have the audio information but can't deal with the annoying buzz.

I'm sure most of you guys know that, but for those of you that don't...

I leave mine on.  I need all the input I can get and with the additional audible input I know exactly where my limits are.

[DoNKeY]

I have it on, and up to 100% of its sound I think.  Just another way to let me know some information...

I have it on but I changed that god-awful clicking stall sound that is default.

The one I have now is much less irritating and I have it turned down to about 50% of its original volume too.

I just need to get a hint of it to know what is about to come, anything louder is a frigging nuisance.. particularly when you're trying to communicate on squad vox.

what i do, is to turn the volume of it down a bit..that and the buffet....but i use them. you can stall an aircraft at hi speed too......so i use it to keep right on the edge without ever having to come inside the aircraft....as i try to never ever take my eyes off the bogie. that has unfortunatly cost me trips to the tower though, courtesy of mother earth.

The stall buzzer is so friggin' annoying I don't know how guys like AKAK swear by it.  I've always had mine off and just know when I'm going to stall by now.

so i ask again......can you feel an accelerated stall before it happens? do you know what an acclerated stall is?

Accelerated stall, sounds like a stall that comes really fast. Honestly, I don't know

you;re kinda right..........
regardless of your speed, if the wing exceeds the critical AOA, it's going to stall......there isn't really too much warning from anything except for the buzzer..which goes off well before you get the buffet. ever been turning with someone, hearing your buzzer, and the plane's handling a bit funny, but no shudder? that's the wing comming to the critical AOA..and about to stall.

sorry if i seemed like a love muffins the way i asked that BTW
