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. . Bill Daniels 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. |
