Yes, that's why I proposed the "very easy, non-intrusive and very intuitive way right there in the attitude indicator in the form of an airspeed vector pointer" type.
I think that where I am pointing and where I am going are 2 of the crucial things that I would like to have presented in the PFD. One of them is. The other one typically isn't.
For a given configuration you approach always at the same AoA no matter the weight or CG. Today you need look-up tables to set the Vee speed, and they are not taking the GC into account so you get only an approximation to the ideal Vref. Plus, in gusting winds conditions, the AoA is more stable than the speed.
Yes, because RPM in a car is a far analogy to AoA in an airplane (not!). Would you like an indicator in the car that tells you how much of the available coefficient of friction you are using? I would.

Sully could have used it. Anywhere you have to fly at the limit of lift, such as extending a glide or a low altitude stall and ground avoidance situation. I also agree that it would be useful in building AoA awareness. I'm not opposed to it. Why would anybody be opposed to it?

Originally posted by ATLcrew View PostI'm not opposed to it. In fact, I'm so not opposed to it that I'm even aware that the 320 series actually has one. It's not marketed as such and is not normally displayed, but it's available for anyone who wants to use it.
Gabriel would like an indication integrated with the PFD pitch scale. You could argue that the FPV is an AoA reference (pitch - FPA = AoA). As well as any aircraft with a pitch limit indicator.

Should there be a poll established on the forum?Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Regarding the FPV, yes, that's the idea. Just that the flight path has to be the "air" flight path.
