Flight School backed up

I wasn't trying to counter your post

I didn't take it that way. Just wanted to correct my post. I figured the jet guys would eventually come by and correct it for me if I didn't.

Today, I fly AOA-based approaches in virtually every aircraft I fly. It's just easier.

For the aircraft that don't require a calculation for speed, does everything you fly have an AOA indication of some kind? Certain pockets of GA are adopting various flavors of AOA indicators, but I'm not smart on how available they are with the business turbine side.

Textron / Cessna has made AOA indicator standard on the mighty 172 since 2019. (Of course this has more to do with marketing and sales) - but there you go. A new Cessna 172 goes for north of $400K.

I believe this is also an option on C-208 Caravan as well. Will be interesting if this is on the Beechcraft Denali (PC-12 killer)

Almost entirely, yes. For the ones that don’t, they’re relatively low fuel-fraction, and have fixed approach speeds (think older 172, etc.), so no computation is necessary.

All the bizjets and turboprops I have flown have an AOA indication of some kind.

Reporting to Pensacola soon as SNA. Will be there for a bit, anyone have recommendations for Pickleball? Didn't see anything on the MWR's insta, not sure if they host at all.

Would be worth asking around. If not, the local YMCAs are quite nice and probably do.

Good to see the age waiver went through. 👍
