[I guess that just shows that the flight sims are not that accurate after all. If you are above 29' AOA in the real jet, its out of control. Where did you get your information about the airshows ? The switch has no function unless you are out of control.

Hi RUN,

On the contrary, I've just been reading through the Falcon 4 manual and Tiger can confirm this to (page 17-10). It states and I quote:

"The AOA indicator displays the current angle of attack numerically on a moving tape. The range is +or- 32 degrees. The tape is colour-coded from 9-17 degrees, corresponding to the colours of the AOA indexer".

This contradicts what you said about 29 degrees. I dont know maybe it's different because Falcon 4 is based on an F16C Block 50/52. I dont know what to belive now. What could the reason be.

I overheard a conversation at the Farnborough Airshow. Capt Erik C.Houston was his name and he said that they will use the overide to increase the perfomance and incase of an emegency. Is this true or was he bullshitting us, because he came across as a cocky type of guy. I was'nt sure if I could believe him or not.


Thanks.
