By "trained" I don't mean somebody showing them how it works...I mean it's use would have to be extensively incorporated into primary training from the very outset. Otherwise it would be just another costly dust collector.
Unlike say a fighter, there are no normal phases of flight in which the AoA data would be interesting for GA aircraft...comply with the AFM speeds and attitudes and you'll never get near the AoA limit except maybe in the flare. Since it would not be interesting or useful, most pilots would tune it out...and it would be silly to expect them to suddenly revert to referencing the thing in a crisis.
It could be useful for aircraft certified for sustained FIKI. That's the only time I ever look at it.
That post if full of your OPINION...but doubtfully vey much experience.
Well there are A LOT of very smart people involved in this development and pilots that are using them right now (the FA just made getting them installed much easier because they have finally come around to see the usefulness in the systems) that would disagree with you on this point rickair.
I can send you a link to a informative thread should you like to pursue the posts before flat out saying that are near useless. You might even learn a thing or two
