Webinar
Fly the Wing: AOA Demystified — Your Wing’s Real-Time Safety Gauge
Friday, January 30, 2026, 1 p.m. CST
Presenter: Michael Vaccaro
This presentation cuts through the mystery to flying with AOA.
Michael Vaccaro will explain what AOA actually measures, why it’s more dependable than airspeed, and how it instantly shows whether you’re in the proper energy state for approach, maneuvering, or pattern work.
You’ll learn how “on-speed” AOA keeps you in the ideal energy window, preventing a negative energy state when you’re too slow (stall risk) and avoiding excess energy when you’re too fast for landing.
Most importantly, you’ll see how AOA gives you immediate situational awareness, allowing you to correct a bad trend long before it becomes a loss-of-control event.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away with simple, practical techniques you can apply on your very next flight, to dramatically improve stick-and-rudder precision, landing consistency, and overall safety.
