AOA Usefulness

I too hope that using AOA to stretch a glide would not happen often, but it would also be useful for ordinary landings because it automatically provides the proper speed for the actual weight of the aircraft without any calculations, especially if your calculations (or fuel quantity readings) are wrong.
