ANGLE OF ATTACK PRESENTATION IN PILOT TRAINING

Abstract

The possible value of angle of attack presentation in addition to other required instruments for flight training in general aviation aircraft was determined. Two groups of inexperienced flight students from the same population as measured by a mental aptitude test participated in identical flight training programs at the private pilot level. However, the experimental group completed the course using an angle of attack indicator. Performance of each student was measured during and upon completion of the training program.
