Quite right to pick me up gentlemen. What I should have said in the context of Kirstey's post was that there was an instrument (AI) that can be used to keep the angle of attack safe when used in conjunction with other instruments.
Having just looked at the Bacon Saver website, there was one line that caused me a little alarm....
If he's trying to clear a ridge, or make the turn to Final, is it seven degrees, or one degree?
My old mountain flying instructor in the States would have had an apoplexy if any of his students had got so close to a ridge on even a minor hill, due to the potential for windshear.
Just out of interest, does any one know what the effect of gusts on this instrument would be and could they cause spurious indications?
