ACI Stall Warners UK

A frequent sequence of events is distraction of pilot attention, leading to lack of speed control, with the stall rapidly followed by rotational entry into a spin. Keep your angle of attack (AoA) on a non-criticle value. Steep ground impact follows all too quickly. - Price GBP.125,00 + VAT. - 'IF YOU THINK SAFETY IS EXPENSIVE, CHECK OUT THE PRICES OF ACCIDENTS' Aviation Division, Transport Canada, May 1999

AoA from Dynon Avionics

Most pilots are introduced to the concept of angle of attack during their initial flight training. However, as most GA aircraft do not provide a way to directly measure this critical flight parameter, angle of attack usually becomes an academic notion which is not thought about while flying. Dynon Avionics was the first EFIS manufacturer to realize the importance of angle of attack and offer an affordable, accurate, and useful way to monitor it.

InAir Instruments, LLC

The LRI is especially suited for short runway landings and takeoffs. - Precision slow speed flight in challenging conditions need no longer be a matter of 'seat of the pants' flying. - Flying with the LRI is the bush pilot's art by instrumentation. During rotation the LRI confirms sufficient lift reserve for liftoff. Climbing out with the LRI needle just above the red sector allows a pilot to achieve high performance takeoffs at maximum angle of climb. Reference to the LRI will also help ensure consistent high performance landings with the shortest rollouts - especially helpful when flying into short airstrips.
