It would nice if the FAA Safety guys went down the hall or across the country and met with the Aircraft Certification guys. AoA is not recognized as a legal "tool" for performance. Current Bombardier planes now have AOA indications on the panel and, where installed, in the HUD, but, because it can't be used legally, the AFM contains not data, there are no markings or data for different performance points--like on-speed for Vref, V2, etc. The C-5 manual had specific numbers-7.2 units for approach, 9 units for V2.
