An Introduction to AOA Indicator Systems

Expert Presentations

iMost pilots were exposed to the concept of angle of attack (AOA) in ground school but have never been instructed in how to utilize AoA indicator systems.  Modern technology has brought these devices into more cockpits and it’s time to find out just how simple AOA flying is.  Unlike flying by airspeed, you don’t have to think about your bank angle or “G” loading to figure out how close you are to the stall.  Attend any or all of these expert briefings and learn how you can extract maximum performance out of your wing even when the chips are down.  Register today.

Maneuvering and Control

Mike "Vac" Vaccaro leads a briefing that explains how AOA is fundamental when maneuvering an airplane.  It will explain what AOA is, how to “fly the wing” during all phases of flight and maneuvering using AOA, and how AOA and power control are integrally related.
