Calculation should include the following:
- The FAA, along with the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC), is promoting AOA indicators as one of the many safety initiatives aimed at reducing the general aviation accident rate.
- AOA indicators will specifically target Loss of Control (LOC) accidents.
- Loss of control is the number one root cause of fatalities in both general aviation and commercial aviation.
- Technology such as AOA indicators can have a tremendous impact on reversing this trend and are increasingly affordable for general aviation airplanes.
