AOA

I believe for technical reasons the stall warning was not continuously sounding despite the persistence of an aerodynamic stall. These guys did not recognize a stall IFR at night with lots of other alarms. AOA indicator might have alerted them to the fatal condition. It also might help avoid some stall spin accidents in small aircraft,not a rare cause of death.
