Therefore, the aircraft is equipped with an artificial stall warning system which incorporates a stickshaker and stickpusher to provide a prestall warning in order to prevent an abrupt wing rolloff. The system includes a stall vane on each side of the nose of the aircraft, two angle of attack indicators, two stall warning lights, and a computer.",
