Landsberg, co-chairman of the steering committee, said the panel endorses working with the FAA to make it cheaper for small planes to install a device that warns pilots when wings are in danger of losing lift. Such devices are standard on commercial airliners.
Such as a stall warning horn?

NO, he was referring to an AOA indicator for GA aircraft.
The problem we are having is the lack of basic stick and rudder skills. That goes beyond flying the airplane and encompasses basic ADM too.
40 years ago, aircraft with gyros weren't used until the student was ready for an instrument rating. Otherwise private pilots would learn on a bare to the bones, dead reckoning, Piper Cub.
Today, we are injecting crazy amounts of information and distractions into the private pilot cockpit that is giving them a false sense of security.
I feel that we need to get back to the "building block" approach to FT.
