Very true but some warning is better than none and if it keeps the
beaurocrats at the German aviation authority happy then who can complain :-)
The theory is that you set the stall warning indicator at 5 knots above your
"nominal" stall speed and the inspector then signs it off! Any volunteers to
design a light weight stall warning unit for a Europa wing!

Density altitude is well worth knowing before a hot take off.
The only challenge is getting it to fit in the panel! I am going to put mine
where a DI would normally sit in order to give me enough depth behind the
encoder.
