The Star letter in our August issue was awarded to Robert Jago for an interesting discussion of stalls, airspeed indicators and angle of attack (AOA) indicators. Here is a selection of videos that examine this vital topic
This is a comprehensive presentation by the FAA on AOA systems
This, instead, is Paul Bertorelli of AVweb showing an electronic AOA indicator
Robert Jago, the letter’s author himself, also has an interesting video showing the limitations of the ASI in terms of stall prevention
And finally, this is one of the most high-profile accidents caused by stall mismanagement, the crash of Air France 447
