On AoA, my university and the FAA recently conducted a study using flight path data to compare the performance of GA pilots during takeoff, landing, and stalls with or without an AoA. The data is still being compiled. I didn't participate, but from the pilots who did I haven't heard any "man, I miss that AoA in my regular flying" kind of talk.
So, based on the fact YOU have not heard any pilots say "man, I miss that AoA in my regular flying" we have surmised what?
If you do not care to use AoA, your choice. However, to try and brow-beat others that DO understand and DO USE the AoA guage, is a crusade that some have picked as their fetish/go-to rant, just makes you wonder, really?
