--Feeling the force, improving awareness of the plane is all admirable and should be practised but I'm not sure how that helps when you need a buffer in gusty conditions. My understanding is that it is done by pilots repeatedly testing "buoyancy" levels through the response to small inputs and is a problem for FBW to replicate; but with gust induced windshear I suspect reaction times are such that you could easily overstep the mark.
--Alpha indicators good idea only instrument on the Wright Flyer. However if the variation in aircraft weight is minimal I suspect the ASI is as good in which case it's the same question asked a different way. What airspeed would you target as opposed to what AOA would you target?
--Like other posters I am not looking at endless additions just ideas on altering approach speed / AOA to leave exceptable safety margins in gusty conditions. Safe so as not to stall out on approach nor to overshoot the end due to excess energy.
