- Angle of Attack (AOA) For Better Piloting - Sunday Feb 8, 10 am. While most general aviation pilots rely on airspeed for key phases of flight, a more effective method - used for decades by the U.S. Navy and Air Force - is angle-of-attack awareness. The military adopted AOA indicators in the jet era, cutting carrier landing accidents by 50%, and modern, affordable AOA systems are now available for general aviation. This talk will explain what AOA is, why it matters, and how GA pilots can use it to fly more safely and more precisely. Several in-cockpit video clips will illustrate how AOA systems are used today in multiple flight scenarios. RSVP to secretary@yaleaviation.org
