Sadly, the one Citation that arguably needed it the most, the Citation X, (C750) offered the panel mount as an option. The airspeed indicator has a "low speed awareness tape" which is, in effect, an AOA but only displays AOA information at low speeds. It was quite disappointing to be up high trying to determine max endurance or estimate climb performance and having to either get the book out or make an educated guess. A simple AOA guage would have been quite useful. IMHO, all aircraft should have full-time AOA info available to the pilot for certification.
