SAE AS8046
SAE AS8046 1992-JAN-24 Mnmum Performance Standard Angle of Attack Equpment
SCOPE:
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the minimum performance requirements for an angle of attack (AOA) system.
Purpose:
This document covers two basic AOA Systems. One measures airflow and pressure distribution on the airfoil, and the other measures the angle of airflow with respect to an arbitrary reference line. Each type of system includes, as a minimum, a sensor and a display to the pilot representative of the aircraft's AOA.
Sensor Category Usage:
Sensor will be categorized for operation in either of the following:
a. Category A: For use on aircraft certified for flight into known icing conditions.
b. Category B: For use on aircraft not certified for flight into known icing conditions.
