Sport Pilot Talk

When I was landing in the Storm Century today, I didn't hear a stall horn go off when we touched down on the runway. Is this type of LSA usually equipped with a stall horn?

Most LSA's don't have stall horns.
I guess the LSA Mfgs. think we are better pilots than the guys that fly GA.

The LSA's I've flown, Remos, Evektor and Gobosh all had stall horns. The Evektor stall warning would go off just taxing (well, sometimes - not all the time). It wasn't until I got into my StingSport when I first encountered an LSA with no stall warning. The stall on the low-wing LSA's is so subtitle that it sometimes can be difficult to tell, but with enough practice it starts to come fairly easy. The Remos on the other hand - whooo boy, a stall in that puppy and you'd have thought the right wing fell off the plane.

At least that is from my experience... others mileage may vary.

Maybe I it is an option not standard for a Storm Century. I guess my flight school chose not to have a stall horn for the plane. I even flew one of their 172s and I don't ever recall a stall horn going off on their 172 during landings. I think it is an old 172, maybe that's why.

Some of the Dynon equipped airplanes have angle of attack indicators with an audible horn. This works kind of like a stall horn, but not exactly the same thing.
