The RiteAngle™ "Buddy" is a modern, up to date system that accurately determines your aircraft's angle of attack. This series uses an improved easy-to-understand LED display. Green indicates Safe, Amber indicates Caution and Red indicates Danger. In additional to the color of the LED's the flashing "arrows" show which way to put the nose to prevent stalling the aircraft.
The horizontal line of Green LED's indicate the "On Speed" AOA, 1.3 Vso regardless of bank angle density altitude or any of the other variables where the airspeed is inaccurate. We will not sell this system to aircraft with flaps.
