Ever since Orville and Wilbur took to the skies, pilots have been taught that the more airspeed you have, the better off you are. But over the last 100-plus years we’ve learned that’s not always the case. Take stalls, for example; the common belief is that if you have sufficient airspeed, the aircraft won’t stall. Sorry, wrong answer.
AOA: A Simple Tool for Safer Flying
Key Takeaways:
- Contrary to common belief, aircraft stall at a critical Angle of Attack (AOA) regardless of airspeed, making traditional airspeed indicators unreliable for precise stall margin awareness.
- Angle of Attack (AOA) systems provide pilots with crucial, real-time information about their aircraft's stall margin, which is otherwise invisible and often misunderstood.
- By offering enhanced stall margin awareness, these advanced AOA systems are a proven technology to significantly improve general aviation flight safety and help prevent loss-of-control accidents.
