Lively forum so lets keep it going.
AoA does not equate to Attitude so the AI is not an AoA indicator which of course has to take into account the aircrfat angle of attack with respect to the airflow over the wing. An AI tells you nothing about this condition just the attitude of the aircraft in reference to an established horizon. It know nothing of the airflow.
Easy mistake so not being critical but given the thread is getting quite detailled worth being clear about accuracy for the benefit of all.
