I was really astonished, the first time I landed as a passenger in a
small plane, to be told by the pilot that the horn that blared just
before touchdown was a stall warning. I assumed the pilot had made a
mistake (in his landing technique, not in his explanation for the
horn)!

But remember, stall horns are usually 8 mph before stall.

Careful, Jim. Depends on your flight regime. The stall horn is actually
set a couple of DEGREES above stall angle of attack. In the landing
configuration that may equate to about 8 mph, but that's not how it's set.
