" That is why an AOA indicator is so strongly suggested by the members
on this list. "
"Without an AOA the pilot cannot SEE how close he is flying his wing to
its
AOA."
"I used to do zoom passes too, from time time, but then I
installed Jim's AOA and found out how close I was coming to stall. In
truth I was a couple of tenths of a G from a smoking hole. It was quite sobering
because you just don't expect to stall above 150 Kts. It is not part of your
mental "things I have to worry about at cruise speed" list."
Please excuse me for quoting several recient
entries.
I see a disturbing trend of thinking here that might lead
some to believe an AOA indicator is a reasonable substitute for stall recovery
training or ability. Even worse, that lack of stall recovery competency is
acceptable for any standard of safety.
Who are you kidding?
I wouldn't have one on my plane. It's not worth it's
weight.
