Narrative:

On takeoff the ssrs of an medium large transport activated. We declared an emergency and returned to field uneventfully. This is the second time in a 15 yr airline career it has happened to me. I know that it has caused total destruction of an air carrier Y medium large transport at den. What I would like to see this report do is force the mfr to change the ssrs system in the medium large transport. It is dangerous, and can kill a lot of people. The system, with all of its backups, still fails. Talking to other pilots more often than should be. The aircraft says it will not fly. There is no way to override the system and you fly with an almost unbearable horn, stall lights flashing and stick shaker going off. Under the right circumstances, that would be enough to make a good aircraft crash. Mark my words: this system will cause deaths in the future!

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR MLG STALL WARNING ACTIVATED ON TKOF FROM DTW. PIC DECLARED AN EMERGENCY RETURN LAND.

Narrative: ON TKOF THE SSRS OF AN MLG ACTIVATED. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO FIELD UNEVENTFULLY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A 15 YR AIRLINE CAREER IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I KNOW THAT IT HAS CAUSED TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF AN ACR Y MLG AT DEN. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RPT DO IS FORCE THE MFR TO CHANGE THE SSRS SYS IN THE MLG. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND CAN KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE SYS, WITH ALL OF ITS BACKUPS, STILL FAILS. TALKING TO OTHER PLTS MORE OFTEN THAN SHOULD BE. THE ACFT SAYS IT WILL NOT FLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE THE SYS AND YOU FLY WITH AN ALMOST UNBEARABLE HORN, STALL LIGHTS FLASHING AND STICK SHAKER GOING OFF. UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE A GOOD ACFT CRASH. MARK MY WORDS: THIS SYS WILL CAUSE DEATHS IN THE FUTURE!
