Angle of attack indicator explained Become a Patreon / backcountry182 ciescorp.net/ flight-resourc... methodseven.com/ www.phillips66... www.backcountry...
Watched this before maybe last year? Now back again June 2022. Wish RU-vid had not remove the published date. Why? More valuable information being lost. 1:12 shot incredible captured footage. Whoever set this up is an Ace. My compliments !
Hi from Prague, Czechia! I'm a pianist, just stumbled across your channel. I love planes, unfortunately I have a bad sight so I can just watch and I will never have a chance to be a pilot. I admire your videos, they look like a dream life. Flying around these beautiful landscapes, you're a lucky man. I always end up watching your videos when I want to escape from these uncertain times for a while. They make me feel relaxed and chill. Go on! :)
These videos are so awesome. You don’t see many tricycle gear planes doing backcountry flying. I wonder If my FBO would be mad if I too the 152 to a sandbar 🤔
I have the lift reserve indicator on my RV6 which uses the same probe but with a simple differential pressure gauge without the electronic processor. Not sure what happened to that concept but AOA is valuable, especially when flying in different environments where ground speeds on approach can be deceiving.
@Anonymous Anonymous experienced pilots continue to kill themselves every week due to stall accidents at low altitude. Clearly experience and instruction is not the problem.
Such an interesting video, this piece of equipment is such a good idea. Its something I would install if I had my own plane. I'll contact you if this happens :)
When I watch this video, I imagine a corvid or hawk making an approach to land, making small adjustments on a tussling of feathers at the trailing edge of his wing. You'd never see one stall in the air - not with that kind of immediate feedback.
Your information about AoA indicators should be given to all CFI. I think that AoA should be mandatory on all GA training aircraft and strongly advised by the FAA on all GA and posibly even LSA aircraft. I have not flown for 35 years because of worry about my kid's Dad's safety. Now I think I might take it up again because finally staying alive is not guesswork. Would this even correct for an ice fouled wing? As long as the actual AoA sensor was heated, I guess it would still warn of stall approach with an ice fouled wing. The way I understand it, it could even (with more modifications) tell the pilot "your wing is iced" and by how much and how quickly that is happening. AoA is far more important than airspeed, imagine trying to fly a plane with no ASI. When one thinks about it, not having AoA, now that it is available for only $2600, is rather insane.
Hi ! That's speed Approach is realy scary bro ! maybe it could be a good idea to have another line (maybe red) on the speed indicator that show the real minimus speed of approach before stall for this kind of landing ! even with that AOA indicators !
@@stevenpam Seems like you're one of the rare people that really understands how a wing stalls. The wing stalls at the critical angle of attack. People don't realize that it is possible to exceed the critical angle of attack in any attitude and at any airspeed. I've been in some pretty good turbulence where the stall buzzer goes off for a fraction of a second. The reason is the vertical gust is changing the relative wind. I was at cruise speed and a level attitude. I would posit that the wing stalled for a fraction of a second when that gust hit me.
@@bruce2357 That is one more reason to be gentle on the controls as well. The angle of attack can often be changed faster than the inertia of the airplane allows it to turn. That is how You intentionally flick an aerobatic plane at pretty high air speeds... A very related risk that concerns me with this type of flying is high angle of attack/slow airspeed placing You behind the drag curve and with no options if the engine quits.
