AOA with Wing Slats?
In another topic, a reply mentioned the intent to install AOA in a Super Duty. Seems "way back" sometime, "someone" mentioned that AOA wasn't very useful with a slatted wing as in the 701, 750 STOL, and 750 SD - I don't know if this comment was speculation or actual experience.
For sure, it's difficult to define a distinct stall with the slats - certainly there's no sharp break and these planes seem to just keep flying at a faster, but controllable descent rate.
Just wondering if anyone has actual experience with an AOA indicator and slats and whether they found it truly useful or not?
