Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall
"Dave Doe" wrote in message
. nz... [...] I don't know why all primary aviation texts focus so much on AOA when nearly all of the airplanes we fly do not have an instrument to measure it. ??? - Stall warning buzzer - fairly common on most planes methinks. The stall warning horn is an AOA indicator. But I wouldn't say that it actually *measures* AOA. That is, the warning horn (or other device) can't tell you what the AOA actually is...it just tells you what side of the critical AOA you're on. Pete
