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?

I had to give up, if you claimed in a thread on single malts that Oban is near the top Doc would retort that you are trying to force him into giving up his Jim Beam.

The only rule change were ones making it EASIER to put an AoA in your plane IF you wanted one.

I'd like one with an amber on-speed donut, and green slow/red fast chevrons. But that's just personal preference

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.

Great article!
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):


Quote: Despite this, I like the plane. I very nearly bought one, and they are much more affordable than even a new Cessna 182 (SR20 is half the price). However, I like the joy of flight too much to fly the spring-loaded plane that needs to be operated in such a fashion - again, I would not "have fun" or explore the envelope in this plane. 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.
