Re AOA

Owain Glyndwr
Now AFAIK, you can't do that with any precision unless you know Mach number, since stall AoA is Mach dependent, so my question is how did your F4 AoA gauge work in a UAS situation?
I dont know, how it was done, what input it used. Im no techicianŽand also technically very interested i never questioned the functioning of the AOA. It was there, it was always working, also with a iced up pitot tube (we only had one).

I donŽt see the problem there, the information was present in the AF447 aircraft (Stall warning, FDR traces....), it was not displayed.
