In my 52TW I have Advanced AOA's Pro. Small unseen ports are in the right wing and a computer calculates everything you need. Display is mounted on the top of the dash just to the left and in line with the windshield support and my line of sight so it is not taking any viewing area while flying. My reason for the Advanced and not the Dynon upgrade to my D5 is that the Advanced tells me in the headset my flaps have been deployed, ANGLE ANGLE PUSH and visually a green donut appears when the gear is deployed. Cut the ball in half with the bar and your there, gear down and on AOA . The multi bar display is easy to see without looking down at the instrument panel. The Dynon is a small dimly lit useless bar graph during landing. The AOA is in my vision during formation as well at least when looking left and flying. And is easy to see in max sunlight. I fly out of 5K to 9K airports all the time in Colorado. I really can't say I'm all that impressed after spending gobs of money and time on the installation. I am a IAS watcher all the time on landing and compare it to the AOA and notice they are pretty much married up all the time when landing. So keeping coordinated rudder in the turns and IAS where it should be helps along with a stabilized approach. I do get impressed with the amount of climb I can pull and still have reserved lift at max power. Don't get me wrong I like it but it won't fix bad pilotage.
