This General Aviation Joint Steering Committee “Topic of the Month” - "AOA Systems" - is provided in support of the National FAASTeam Performance Plan.

Background :  An AOA (Angle of Attack) system can be used with an AOA indicator to get the pilot’s attention (via audio and/or low cost stick shakers even if the pilot is not looking at it). This focuses the pilot’s attention on where it needs to be to avoid the stall. The pilot can use AOA to fly more precisely and more efficiently; AOA can be very useful in enhancing safety and flying more efficiently. It should be used in conjunction with airspeed and existing stall warning systems when available.
