... His point was that the stall speeds marked on the ASI (Vs and Vso) are applicable only at 1 G, maximum gross weight, and the appropriate flap/gear configuration. That's why an angle-of-attack indicator would be nice. Well, in a way, the airspeed indicator IS an angle-of-attack indicator. -- Chris Hoffmann Student Pilot @ UES 30 hours

It's related to angle-of-attack, but note all the cautions in the rest of this thread. It's definitely not the same thing (that's why you see AOA indicators in some military and aerobatic aircraft). All the best, David
