FAASTeam Angle of Attack Awareness, April 2021
https://medium.com/faa/angle-of-attack-awareness-cb6dd739c10c
A lack of awareness, with respect to angle of attack (AOA), has resulted in the loss of aircraft control and contributed to fatal GA accidents. Increasing your awareness of the aerodynamic effects of AOA and available technology will help reduce the likelihood of inadvertent loss of control.
Always worth reminding and remembering.
See also the EGAST Leaflet GA 8 and other relevant sources.
Fly safely and have fun!
Good initiative. Also important to understand the concept of ‘assymetric’ AoA - often the root cause if inadvertent Loss of Control.
