As I recall, the AoA can be approximated using the FD, the "bird", (FPV), and a quick mental numerical subtraction? Not easy, and probably not trained?

Since this exercise utilizes computed data involving the AoA, one wonders why, if the FCM knows the AoA, how difficult or expensive would it be to display it to the only two who can save the flight?
