Jeff, where is it?

Last time I looked, most of the fatals were caused by unintentional =
stalls.
Engine failures are not the cause.  It's stalling the wing -- because =
that morphs a pilot into a helpless passenger... for too long in some =
Lancairs.  Not good if too low.

The type AOAs most pilots favor do not, IMHO, give a pilot instantaneous =
eye-to-hand info of his wing's stall angle to the relative wind... when =
there exists an AOA indicator. They read out 'somewhere on the panel', =
and often just as little lights, which the mind must comprehend and =
convert. =20
In my opinion what's needed is to look at your wing and there also SEE =
the relative wind -- the vane -- and a mark indicating the stall angle.
How about some forum comments on this?

Terrence
