DAVIDWH Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 For those interested, it took us three flights to finish calibration of Alpha Systems AOA indicator. The wing probe was moved to the vertical by 5 degrees each time before the optimum alpha angle was obtained. ( Wing probe was located in inspection plate for obvious convenience.) The indicator chosen was a line of led lights consisting of green, orange and red. 1.3 vso for every landing, regardless of weight is when the green led bumps the yellow. Too much decreasing lift and you will be prompted by the yellow and red (Uh OH) leds to wake up. Additionally, "Slow Sarah" will suddenly be in your earphones and will begin to nag in her feminine baritone sort of voice. One thing that surprised me was how slow the airspeed indicator reacts to wing loading as compared to the AOA. Really no comparison. This may explain some of those unfortunate pattern mishaps. Quote

Oscar Avalle Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 I love my AOA too. It i easy to calibrate and it works great. Since I am using the unit my pattern work is much better... Quote
MooneyBob Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Any experience with the Garmin AOA indicator anyone? Quote
