Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
In December 2024 the FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Safety Bulletin (SAIB) recommending that all GA aircraft have angle of attack (AOA) indicators installed, calibrated, and that pilots be trained to use the device. The good news is that AOA indicators are affordable and training is easy. On March 14, 2026 a workshop at the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center (PPC) will teach CFIs about this lifesaving technology. They will review training exercises and receive hands-on practice in AOA indicator training using the EAA PPC Redbird LDs.
The FAA and General Aviation Joint Safety Committee (GAJSC) have recognized AOA indicators as a priority in helping to reduce loss of control fatalities. Pilots also find that using AOA indicators improve their landings. AOA indicators were first used by the Wright Brothers and for over fifty years they have been essential for military operations such as successful carrier landings.
This training is co-hosted by the AOA Work Group (AOA WG) and the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI). Established by the EAA Safety Committee, the AOA Work Group has been at the forefront of promoting the use of angle of attack indicators in general aviation.
