Default Spin to impact AOA

Mat, training yourself to use an AOA indicator takes about 30 seconds - it's
really obvious. Training to use the ASI for pitch attitude without
reference to the visible horizon takes many hours of intensive training and
even then most pilots don't do it well.


AOA indicators are about reducing information overload, not increasing it.
An AOA indicator IS a stall warning with far greater resolution. The EASY
way to fly is with an AOA. The HARD way is to do without it.

So, we are talking about pitch attitude control without reference to
the visible horizon. In that situation how do we control roll and
yaw?


The same way as we control roll and yaw in normal flight, since we
don't need a horizon to do this. Roll can be detected as long as there
is a reference in the distance we can see we are rolling with respect
to, and yaw can be detected using a yaw string or slip ball. Balanced
bank will always produce a turn, which can of course be seen as the
reference surface moving past the nose.
