falling out of the sky machine
Is it safe to go flying now ??
All this technology could get in the way of enjoying stripping !
A tin of Sparkle for the perspex works quite well, and its cheaper.

John (Harrier) Farley did a great article on AoA in Flyer a wee while back. The impression that I got is that it takes information from all the performance instruments in the panel to give you the information to make a decision on AoA which can more easily be provided by an A0A indicator.
However, is it that critical a requirement? It's down to personal taste so QDM, we're all waiting to see what hoops the CAA made you jump through to fit it Bet you wish you had a big engined J3/L4 on a PFA Permit now

More or less right because you already have a pitch down moment with landing flap at near threshhold speed. In reply to a previous sarky comment, you are unlikely to pull the wings of if at or below Va as a full and sudden up elevator will stall the wing and therefore unload it. Anyway, I am too old to have my brain tested like this.
