Concur on the thanks to A33Zab.

It's a step in the right direction, and acknowledgement that something needed be done.

But with a use limited to FL250, it seems improvements are in order.

Further on the question of ADR AoA and IR AoA on the same plane:

Why not to have a compound formula, a logical summ of the two formulas/calculations, and use the result which is most efficient if it is valid, and fall back to the other, if the first result is not valid.

I'm trying to understand why the ADR AoA was used on planes, if IR AoA is/may be available too, and the latter not being subject to AoA probes icing (Perpignan), nor speed problems "pollution" (AF447).
