Lift Reserve Indicator

[Yenn]

If a slip ball was mounted longitudinally it would be useless as an angle of attac indicator. Every acceleration and decelerationwould have it dancing a merry jig. Would be useful as a brake condition indicator while taxiing.

What makes the Lift Reserve Indicator unique is that the LRI integrates angle of attack and airspeed in a single, immediately clear analog readout.

 

Angle of attack and airspeed are the two fundamental components of lift. The LRI provides a continuous and steady visual display of the condition of an aircraft's lift throughout its slow speed envelope regardless of the many variables which act upon an aircraft.

 

The LRI also provides a continuous visual reference of an aircraft's margin over stall at any airspeed. This allows a pilot to continuously track his aircraft's performance since the LRI responds instantaneously to pilot control and wind conditions.

great !!another damn gauge we have to teach people to stop looking at......

And we're back to what Ossie had to say over a week ago...

Although any of the gauges that have an audio output mean that you can keep your eyes looking where they should be, yet still know what your AoA is. Realistically, I don't ever look at mine, but every so often, while manouvering, I get the occasional chirp, which still has a large buffer before stall.
