Where is that YAWN icon?
A quote from an article/announcement isn't a disclaimer.
cardiomd - you spend MUCH more time on here telling everyone THEY don't need something than I do offering my opinion of AoA.
But you keep on with your imaginative comebacks!
And yes -- I'd love to have that gauge in my cockpit.

Never seen anything like that. Green is on target pitch, red is too high, what's yellow doing? Only air-cooled engine I got runs a pressure cleaner pump. But I suppose if I was fortunate enough, wealthy enough, to be an airplane owner...no I wouldn't cough up the extra 3K or chop up my glare-shield unless I had too. Is there a rule change pending?

A very good and detailed description of some of the benefits that some might find with an installed AoA system for GA aircraft.
Why We Fly Alpha
I've had a little interaction with two of the participants and find their work to be very helpful. Thanks for the efforts gentlemen.

Very informative and bears out what a lot of us already knew and why we use AOA.

Another SR20 down in typical fashion. 
In order to fly this plane safely, you must understand it, why she couldn't get down quickly, and why she spun it in the pattern.
Kathryn's Report: Cirrus SR20, N4252G, Safe Aviation LLC: Fatal accident occurred June 09, 2016 near Hobby Airport (KHOU), Houston, Texas
And a quote I wrote a few years ago (my bolding):

It is a high performance transport craft and should be respected as such.
In fact, I might even want an AOA gauge if I flew a plane with the SR22's airfoil, (much as I would want one if I flew an F-16 or an A320.)
But, I don't, so I don't.

Wonder if any ATC changes will come out of this one, sure looks like ATC might be a contributing factor...bet she wouldn't have crashed if she had got a long base to a nice stable 3-4 mile final.
