Title:
East Michigan Flight Standards District Office Monthly Safety Meeting April 2026
Topic:
Angle of Attack Awareness
Speaker(s):
TBD FAAST Rep.
Brief Description:
Topic: Angle of Attack Awareness:
The FAA and industry will conduct a public education campaign emphasizing the value of equipage with angle of attack indicators and stall awareness training with and without angle of attack indicators.
Teaching Points:
- Wings stall when the critical angle of attack is exceeded.
- Airspeed indicators and stall warning systems are useful but imprecise ways of alerting pilots to impending stall conditions.
- The use of angle of attack indicators not only gives pilots precise knowledge of impending stall conditions but also provides guidance for the most efficient approach and climb angles of attack.
- General aviation aircraft owners should consider retrofitting angle of attack indicators.
- Regular proficiency training and practice in stall awareness and stall recovery, with or without angle of attack indicators, is essential to preventing stall/spin accidents.
