MORE ANGLE OF ATTACK
Awhile back I put an Alpha Systems AoA in my Cessna 182. The instrument was difficult to calibrate, but Mark Korin—the owner of Alpha systems—got on the phone for a half-hour with me when I was calibrating my unit. Turns out I’m very happy with the panel-mounted display. I almost never look at airspeed now.
But when I do it to my next plane I will use the flush-mount or the Alpha Eagle display. Can you guys do an in-depth report on software-based AoA? I’m skeptical about this technology. And while you’re at it, how about a fresh look at LED versus HID landing lights?
