I am assuming the AoA installation being discussed displays respective AoA data on the left & right PFDs coming from their respective sensors, and that there would be some form of comparator and caution/warning system advising the crew of significant differences in the AoA values being produced by the sensors. Can anyone with operational knowledge of this option confirm that this is a correct understanding?
PJ, my understanding (imperfect) is that this initiative is an effort to put the pilot back into the loop. As I see it, the display helps resolve the mystery of "what's it doing now?" and "why's it doing that?" for the problem at hand, leading to a better understanding along the lines of 'it's doing
this because of
that."
In theory, this becomes a cue to prompt corrective action. (Rather than being in a battle with the aircraft, which the crew of LionAir seemed to be). As ever, some training and crew training is the proper supplement to such a modification.
