Why might an AoA guage be any more accurate than an ASI?





Because an AoA gauge responds directly with "relative wind"
Airspeed indicators respond to ram air pressure measured against static
pressure. Have you ever noticed that your airspeed indicator seems to
read higher in the winter due to denser air (assuming you live in a
climate with vastly different temps between summer and winter). Also,
have you ever noticed your airspeed indicator reads lower at higher
altitudes (due to less dense air)? AoA is accurate regardless of the
above mentioned differences.
