Turn to Final - Keeping Ball Centered

Hey Bertie,
You've probably heard a lot of different stall warning horns. Remember why
the CEO of TWA in the 50's wanted to contract Boeing for all the Jets to go
"Hoot, Hoot"?

You are right Dudley. It's so target rich! Might as well have fun.
Not to worry. I got Bertie's number,


That's 1.95 a minute, you know.

I'll call him a friend "anyway".


I'll refrain from the obvious "AIRPLANE!" inspired joke.

?? Nope! We don't have an aural one in the 757, I don't think..

I used to fly the BAC 1-11 and that had one of those Auuuurooooghaaahh!
Horns lke they used to have in subs and on the running boards of model T's
.. It let you know that the stick pusher was firing off.

The 757 stall warning sound is an option. It is turned on, if your company
bought it, by the warning level settings. What airline? I might be able
to tell you where it is. I have some manuals around yet.

Anyhow, the CEO's name was Hoot Gibson, if you remember. That's the reason
for the stall warning sound request.
(not a factual story, just an industry rumor).

Ah, won;'t say! I haven't stalled one of them, yet, anyway..

We must have done some in the sim when I got typed, but I can;'t remember.

OK. I don't think that hoot got to management, did he? There's been a lot
of Hoot Gibsons. All named after one cowboy movie star from the thirties,
apparently...

Bertie's ok. He knows his stuff. He's somewhat like me in one respect.
We both don't suffer fools gladly. On the other hand, I at least make a
feeble attempt to avoid the kooks on Usenet. Bertie has them for
breakfast :-))

ok, I just remembered it is integrated with the "Pull Up" voice. If you
have that warning level switch "on" and to that level, then the "Warning,
Stall" voice is also heard. If not, your company didn't buy the option.
Almost all the European companies did not.

About Hoot. I don't know the details about his career. Maybe he didn't,
but we don't want a small fact like that to get in the way of a good story.

Hoot Gibson the Astronaut is one. The next name I've run into a lot in
aviation is "Dusty" Rhoads :-))

Don't remember any aural warning on any jet airplane US or European except
the 1-11

Haven;'t heard of any of them yet. I looked up Hoot Gibsons on the net
trying to figure out how the name came to be so common. The Cowboy hoot
was also an air racer in the thirties. I think he raced a Waco of some
description.

Overhead panel, lower right, warning grouping, 4 position switch. Says
"Warning Levels" 0 - 4, they mean 0 = off (no voice), 1 aero performance, 2
= engine and system performance, 3 = navigation performance (also tied to
FMCS). They collectively engage 0 - 4. You're supposed to know this. It
was on the test we gave. If set to position 1 you also get stall warning
tone and voice. I am almost sure this was not a delete option, but my last
experience was in '87.
