Cessna Skyhawk Aircraft Now Equipped With Angle Of Attack System

SCc AoA To Be Standard Equipment On New 172s

An Angle of Attack (AoA) indicator ... recognized as one of the most useful instruments for preventing loss of control accidents ... will now come as standard equipment on all new Cessna 172 aircraft, and will be available on new 182s and 206s.

Cessna will install the Safe Flight’s SCc Angle of Attack (AoA) system on all Cessna Skyhawk 172 aircraft and optional on the Cessna Skylane 182 and Cessna Turbo Stationair 206.

“Textron Aviation is constantly looking for innovative solutions for our piston customers and making the SCc Angle of Attack system standard on all Skyhawk aircraft is a great example of bringing the latest technology to our products,“ said Doug May, vice president, Piston Aircraft. “We are thrilled to work with Safe Flight to bring this latest enhancement to the cockpit, providing an improved flying experience for our customers.”

Safe Flight has nearly 70 years of experience in providing primary stall warning and AoA systems. SCc is the only supplemental AoA system to utilize leading edge lift information, the most accurate and dependable measurement of AoA. This dash-mounted system provides trend and AoA information during all phases of flight, allowing for instantaneous visual and audio feedback.
