All airliners have AOA driven stall warning systems.
Skip,
See, I knew you ATP guys had an edge on us more "normal" folks.
Actually, a very informative post. The fact is that all of us flying "experimental" airplanes can afford one of the AOA systems now available. They have great life saving potential. Reserve lift presentations can be very educational. Max L/D presentations might make the difference in an engine out situation. Flying an AOA managed landing approach, with or without wheels, is under complete control even if this is the first landing at Phoenix (105 degrees) and your new mother-in-law is in the back with her Bull Mastif.
Unfortunately, those old certified airplanes would require expensive STCs for AOAs so they will continue to rely on stall warning vanes for "its almost too late" information.
