Andres,

 

I can relate more to your AOA contribution than I can with John's abrasive post.  John explains his point of view with a hammer approach (military style).  Terrance also makes a readable case for an AOA.

 

I have no military pilot experience (am envious), although I have multiple hours in Hueys in Viet Nam.  I would be considered a low time pilot by military standards.  I have flown my Lancair without the AOA, then with the AOA.  I like it.  For me, I feel it helps me "one notch" more than without it to be a better pilot.  Hopefully, in the future, in a pinch, it will give me a better advantage.

 

I am a Technical Counselor for an EAA chapter.  I speak of the "nothing to lose by installing an AOA" with builders I am involved with.  They decide whether to install and use it.
