In this episode, we dive into one of aviation’s most important safety tools: Angle of Attack (AOA) indicators. Loss of Control (LOC) remains the leading cause of fatal accidents in both general and commercial aviation, and AOA indicators are being championed as a powerful solution.
We’ll explore how these devices give pilots real-time stall margin awareness, why airspeed alone can’t prevent a stall, and how AOA indicators improve situational awareness, energy management, and even fuel efficiency. We’ll also discuss their growing accessibility thanks to streamlined FAA installation policies, as well as the critical role of proper training and understanding system limitations.
Whether you’re a student pilot, a seasoned aviator, or just passionate about flight safety, this episode will give you a clear look at how AOA indicators are reshaping aviation safety and why they might be one of the most valuable tools in the cockpit.
