How it Works - Electronic
The ALPHA SYSTEMS AOA system was primarily designed as a standalone device to improve operational safety of airplanes by increasing pilot awareness during operations at high angles of attack. This AOA system meets the stated objective of the FAA’s Advisory Circular, AC23.1309-1C, “to improve the safety of the airplane fleet by fostering the incorporation of both new technologies that address pilot-error and weather related accidents and those technologies that can be certified affordably.”
The ALPHA SYSTEMS AOA INSTRUMENT utilizes different
ial pressure measured at the probe to convey reliable, instantaneous and continuously variable angle of attack information that is accurate regardless of aircraft weight, temperature or altitude.
Calibration of the Alpha Systems AOA is set in-flight at Optimum Alpha Angle (OAA) with a push of a button.
Highly identifiable LEDs stay in your peripheral vision to identify your aircraft’s AOA for stall, Vx, Vy, Vapp etc.
