ok, so for this thing i am working on i have to explain what the ami indicator is and what it is used for. here is my best and quickest explanation.

The AMI (alpha margin indicator) is a function of the windshear alert and warning system. Its literal indication is the angle of attack that will activate the stick shaker indicating an approaching stall condition. In the CRJ during a decreasing performance windshear we fly the flight director for escape guidance until ground contact is imminent, then the thrust levers are firewalled and the AMI is followed to allow the plane to maintain the maximum allowed angle of attack without stalling the plane.

so does that sound like a good explanation? anyone have any other info on the ami.
