- sorry, they still are - I do not understand the question.
Regarding AoA and the Oozlum bird. Forget the AoA. It would take enormous training input and costs no-one will justify, and can easily be 'missed' in a panic too - yet another gauge. All we need is pilots who understand basic flying, and that a PITCH attitude of 17 degrees at 38000' is just silly. I believe they never went below 5 degrees? 3 instruments already there, apparently working, displaying this, and used for 'basic flying'. End of? The challenge is 'why'?
