Repeat the steps above using AOA indications “2” and “1”. Gain
experience by practicing these simulated approaches and landings
using the AOA indicator.
Some notable observations:
•
The control effectiveness decreases with higher AOA.
• The higher the AOA, the more attention has to be given to
rudder inputs to compensate for adverse yaw.
• Approaches at the higher angles of attack leaves little time
between starting the flair and stall.
Useful Techniques when using KLR 10 Indicator
Some techniques and things to consider when using the KLR 10
Indicator to fly approaches are:
•
Coordinate the use of pitch and power to fly the approach and
landing.
• Use PITCH primarily to control the AOA.
• Use POWER primarily to control the descent rate.
• Keep in mind how much power it took to just maintain altitude.
• A stable approach all the way to the runway is much safer than
making radical changes to the AOA or descent rate once an
obstacle is cleared.
• Set a safe standard for yourself using all your experience to set
a maximum AOA for any approach and do not let pressures
cause you to fly an approach at too high of AOA.
• When flying in gusty conditions fly a lower AOA so that when a
wind gust changes your AOA it does not exceed your maximum
AOA.
• Having a great new system to indicate AOA does NOT change
the laws of physics, use it as a new tool to fly safe.
