A dedicated AoA indicator in the cockpit is another must have...
Now this is something that I would like to see in EVERY aircraft, but of course I might be bias

Seems like Sully might agree with us on this point too SparKen:
(From his interview on AF447)
He explained, "One of the things we could do ... is to provide and display directly in the cockpit critical angle of attack information; this angle of the air flow over the wing information that the airplane already measures, but is not displayed to the pilot. Had they had the information displayed directly into the cockpit, it would have helped them if they were trained to use it effectively."
