AOA will compensate for weight very nicely. It doesn't know,
however, what descent rate is being flown and how much energy is needed to
arrest that sink. The energy needed goes up as a squared function of the
vertical speed. In the 360, I span descent rates from 500 to 2,000 fpm on
final (ILS to short approaches). The energy thus varies by a
factor ~16. It is the higher end of the scale where one can
get into trouble.
Is "energy" equivalent to mv^2 in this
case?
so if you double your sink rate you would need to
double your speed above stall to compensate?
