Do it yourself cheap AOA Indicator

[jiott]

Paul, I know what you mean, that "angle, angle, push" audio is next to useless- not much different than the typical old stall horn but more irritating.

I have the Dynon Skyview system AOA which has a much, much better audio alert. No ladies voice, just a slow beep that starts about 5 mph before stall and then the beep gets progressively faster as you get closer to stall, until it finally turns to a solid tone at impending stall. I love it because I can keep my eyes outside where they belong during landing and also get the full progressive AOA information in my ears in a non-irritating way. Since Dynon now owns Advanced Flight Systems, I wonder if there is a setting for your panel to give this kind of tone rather than '*****in Betty'.

I agree, the Dynon progressive beeps work well, not irritating and gives useful info as you look outside.

I consider mine useless. On take off, she start as soon as you rotate. I don't care what angle, what speed, she's screaming non stop. She so irritating she overrides the controllers. On landing it is exactly the same. If I'm descending she's screaming. One of these days I need to go up, and try to get her set, but it's not been a big priority.

Paul, the AOA calibration process is very easy, takes hardly any time at all. Its done in flight, you enter the in-flight set-up mode, choose AOA calibration, follow instructions on-screen which has you do a few stalls in landing configuration (up at a safe altitude). That's it!

I,ve printed it out that will be done soon. I wish I could do away with *****in Betty's voice.

On my Dynon (not yet flying) there is a provision to put a volume control on the audio output.

Can any one tell me how to adjust the volume on the AOA?

Hi Fred,

If I recall correctly, you have dual Dynon equipment. I would give Dynon a call and see if they can help you troubleshoot. As near as I can tell, there is not an independent volume adjustment for the audio alerts.
