The invention relates to a method and system for indicating a potential stall condition (256) for an aircraft (202) during flight. An alert lift coefficient (244) is identified for the aircraft (202). The alert lift coefficient (244) is adjusted in response to a number of changes in a current state of the aircraft (202). A set of thresholds (228) is identified for use in generating an alert (230) indicating that the aircraft (230) has reached the potential stall condition (256) using the alert lift coefficient (244).
