The FAA Recommends AOA Indicators For All Aircraft

In late December, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a special airworthiness information bulletin (SAIB) focused on the future installation of angle of attack (AOA) indicators and systems for aircraft. The bulletin, which was released on December 26 of last year, was titled Stall Warning System: Angle of Attack Alerting Systems. It provides a simple suggestion to all general aviation aircraft owners and operators to ensure their aircraft is fitted with an AOA system of some sort, which provides many benefits to the aircraft owners and operators. The FAA mentioned in the bulletin, which is designated 2024-07, that these benefits may include the possible reduction in risk of loss-of-control (LOC) incidents or accidents.
