Zenitheers:
A recent comment indicated Naval aircraft had AOA indicators so that
pilots had "Heads Buried" in cockpit and thus hit the fantail on
carrier approaches. While there is an AOA indicator in the cockpit
there is also one mounted above the glare shield which is directly in
the line of sight for landing. A down chevron indicated you needed to
lower the nose and an up chevron indicated the nose needed to be
higher. The donunt in the center indicated you were at the optimum
AOA (at least on F4's & A-4's).
While I would agree that an AOA is not needed for most 701 landings,
mine will be in a pasture at 8,000' msl. I believe an AOA will be
advantageous under those conditions. I have installed a LRI on my 701
and the indicator will be in my line of sight for the landing area,
similar to the McDonnell aircraft referenced above. More info can be
found on the LRI at >http://www.liftreserve.com/<.
I should add that the LRI will also serve as my standby airspeed
indicator.

Don't forget that on some electronic AOA indicators (AFS's stand-alone and
MGL's inside their EFIS) an audio warning can be injected into the intercom
in a stall situation. So the AOA also functions as a "blind" (while you are
looking out the window) stall warning.

Flying out of a strip at 8000' msl is why we built a Zenith product.
