As usual, an excellent post from Old Smokey

Let me throw this out here....for discussion.... What do you think of having a nicely calibrated angle-of-attack indicator?

Thrust and angle of attack.....you can use that for all phases of flight, provided we have marks on the indicator for each phase....In cruise, a mark for high speed cruise, for long range cruise, for 'econo-cruise'....etc.

If nothing else, it'll provide a nice back up for loss of airspeed.

What does everyone think?

Fly safe,
