RE: DJ77 (#4114)
dj,
By the way, the choice of a reference for AoA is somewhat arbitrary.
Just think of the whole airplane, rather than any particular part of it (wing section and 'incidence' vary considerably along the wingspan). Anyway its not important which reference is used, but you must use it consistently.
This still leaves AF447 less than 1 deg away from stall warning, if the 4.2 deg AoA triggering threshold is true.
With cruise AoA typically 2 degrees, wouldn't that leave 2.2 degrees?
