At stall conditions, the tone generator produces an oscillating sound that is relayed to the cockpit through speakers located in the captain's and first officer's consoles. Both stall recognition lights are energized by the tone generator and the lights flash in synchronization with the oscillating sound. The stall recognition lights are located on the glare shield.
