Default Angle of attack (hear it, feel it)

I think it would even help, if instructors could use
an AoA displaying device to show learning pilots what's
happening to the AoA during all kinds of different
flight regimes and situations. That would give the unique option to show, that the
AoA is the basic counting variable regarding a stall
and how that critical AoA could be hit (as you can
hit it in different ways)I don't see such a device installed in every common
glider in the future. But it might be quite beneficial to have one in a training
double seater to bring the Concept of AoA to the learners
attention and into his mind. Anybody should get the idea then, just as in 'Rudder
and Stick' getting the idea of AoA is the whole point.
From that point on, I don't think a permanent display
is neccessary any more. I'd think training is better that any display can be
and being in severe and urgent trouble, a display,
be it visual or audible, might not get through to your
overloaded mind, where thorough trained and understood
things can still be present and available. regardsAndre
