We realy do not need another Taiwan ATR crash.

6 eyes in that cockpit, and they still let the airpseed get to low, with the resulting wingtip stall and cartwheel.

When in trouble, when in panic, SPEED control is what seperates life from death.

In a real emergency, thare's a LOT to do in very-very little time.

SPEED control IS the most important one.

@ Pace

How many "little" airplanes have an AOA indicator?

I agree with AOA, but that instrument is for the bigger boys.

Single engine failure? => push over IMEDIATELY, and the rest depends on what's in front of you.

Do I need best glide or best decend? => SPEED control.

SPEED control, flaps, all the rest is OPTIONAL, time permitting.
