My AOA came with a quick reference card for the airborne
calibration process. Maybe they have one on their website that you can print?

the
book is impossible to deal with in the air.
the
only way I found to deal with it is to make up a table that lays out every
step.
"look
for this indication"

RESCINDS INFO LETTER
Alan: I'm interested in your steps to calibrate the AOA.
I have one in the Legacy RG which is "factory set" but has
always been set quite high such that the warnings go off at takeoff and well
before flares at landing. That hasn't bothered me for the first 100
hours but I'd like to dial it in a bit better and I've read through the AOA
book a number of times. I'd be interested in your experience in getting
the calibration completed including the second person assistance. Thanks
in advance.

I don't believe that experiencing a *fully developed*
stall is the panacea that some would content. However, I *do*
think that experiencing the slow flight characteristics *prior* to a
stall are indeed a valuable experience. For example, what do *mushy*
controls feel like, how much control authority does it take to recover, etc -
all *prior* to a stall.
Now some would argue that you have to get into a stall to
experience any of the above, however I would argue differently. That first time
you get close to a high AOA, and are only *close* to an impending stall
is all you need to know you never *really* want to get there.
Also, while on this topic... For those with an AOA, *DO NOT*
trust that because you bought the model that is made for your particular
airframe, and were told that it came *pre calibrated*, that you still
don't need to go do the calibration procedure.
