.again.. I'd welcome an AoA display being sn engineer/technophile.
Ref AOA
Harry. That is so right. Adding more confusion to confusion/ which AOA would have done in this instance was not going to help. The most important instrument in a confusing situation is the horizon- ADI. If you are flying level with power set you are flying level no matter what lights are flashing, horns blaring. Unless you have gone into deep stall.
And your ground speed is always there which equates closely to airspeed at lower levels.
