Unless you have flown with an AOA indicator, it's hard to imagine what it

Agreed. I last flew with an AOA indicator just a few weeks ago but it
was included in a HUD symbology set, not head down. The last thing we
need is for all contest pilots to have a head down indicator that they
depend on to optimize performance while thermalling.

Make it a director, feed it flap position (if applicable) and make it
audible!
