I think that was his point. To calculate if you are going to stall in a final, you need to know your weight and flap setting to see if you will exceed the critical angle of attack when doing the turn, exactly because the speed isn’t constant.
- lovecg 2y agoNo, you just need an angle of attack sensor. These are increasingly available for small GA planes.
- blt 2y agostall AoA depends on flaps though?
- lovecg 2y agoYes, and some sensors do take flaps position into account (or you compromise and have it display the AoA with a typical approach setting).
- echoangle 2y agoYou need an AoA sensor to see if you are currently stalling or are just about to stall. To predict if you will stall at a specific point in your approach before you’re there, you need to know your weight, too.
