flag AOA indicators, proven to prevent stalls, are gaining traction despite slow pilot adoption.

flag Loss-of-control accidents—most often caused by stalls—remain the leading cause of fatal general aviation crashes. flag To reduce that risk, Alpha Systems, founded by pilot Mark Korin, develops affordable Angle of Attack (AOA) indicators that provide real-time feedback on how close a wing is to its critical stall angle. flag Unlike airspeed, which can be unreliable in high-workload situations, AOA shows actual wing performance during takeoff, landing, and maneuvering. flag The NTSB and FAA have strongly endorsed wider use of AOA systems, and FAA NORSEE approval allows for straightforward installation with only a logbook entry. flag Still, many pilots have been slow to adopt the technology, viewing it as unnecessary. flag With growing advocacy and integration into modern glass cockpits, AOA indicators are gaining traction as one of the most effective safety upgrades for light aircraft.
