CDRW, call me a bluff old traditionalist, but it is AOA combined with a bit of airspeed that "keeps you flying in the first place", not airspeed. Of course, lacking any worthwhile AOA gauge, the ASI is the least worst way of steering clear of the stall. I guess that pilots who only ever go to about +/- 10 deg in pitch and +/- 20 deg in roll can afford to forget the
absolute fundamentals.
