What if an Angle of Attack (AoA) system could go beyond basic stall warnings and deliver precise, actionable data throughout every phase of flight—from takeoff and climb to cruise, approach, and landing?Holy Micro! LLC (holymicro.com), creators of the SkyVoice Alert 500 and SkyVoice Glassy Guide 400, introduces the FAA-Approved Absolute AoA System, a NewGen solution designed in line with FAA SAIB 2024-07 to provide accurate AoA information across all phases of flight.The Absolute AoA Difference: Precision across All PhasesUnlike traditional single-sensor differential pressure systems that primarily provide near-stall alerts, this advanced system provides reliable AoA information for climbing, cruising, and landing. It is unaffected by density altitude, weight, or loading.The system uses multiple sensors to calculate and calibrate a normalized pressure ratio, a method validated through extensive studies and flight testing to maintain precision across all phases of flight. Pilots can fly Absolute AoA for all your V speeds, including Best Glide/Best Range (L/Dmax) and VCC.Designed as a Single Pilot Resource Management (SRM) tool to reduce workload and enhance situational awareness, the system features a Flap Scanner with cutting-edge LiDAR technology. This automatically detects and adjusts for flap position and landing configuration. Whether you're flying at high or low altitudes, speeds, or loading, it delivers consistent, reliable AoA data regardless of conditions.Streamlined Installation and Hardware DesignThe Absolute AoA probe is manufactured from high-quality 6061 aluminum and installs under an inspection plate in smooth, undisturbed airflow.Efficient Setup: Installation is typically completed in 3-4 hours using existing inspection panels. Communication between the AoA Sensor Unit and CPU can be wired or Wi-Fi, based on user preference. Flexible power options allow the system to draw power from wing lights or navigation lights.Complex Wing Solution: An optional Flap Scanner Pod addresses mounting challenges near the flap area, particularly in twin-engine and complex-wing aircraft. This separate sensor housing can be installed away from the main AoA probe and is available as an add-on.Pilot-Centric Interface and CalibrationPilot feedback shaped several usability enhancements:Cockpit Integration: 2.8-inch panel or dash-mounted IPS touch displays feature Lift Reserve Remaining, providing immediate visual feedback on the aerodynamic margin above stall.Simplified Calibration: One-point calibration allows setup in just three minutes—start in cruise, stop at stall warning.Audio Alerts: The system provides selectable audio tones or voice announcements. Tones use distinct pulse patterns to indicate different phases of flight, aligned with Navy and Air Force standards. Audio output is available via wired connection or Bluetooth, based on user preference.Reference Points: Custom labels allow pilots to mark AoA values for speeds such as Vx and Vy.System Management: A 6.5-inch HMI supports setup, connectivity, and Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates.Companion Display: An auxiliary unit providing real-time Angle of Attack information at additional cockpit locations. Featuring the same intuitive interface as the primary Absolute AoA display, it ensures that critical flight-safety information is accessible to everyone on board. Plug-and-play integration makes it a practical situational-awareness upgrade, particularly in larger cockpits or training environments.HM Mixer Amp: Solving Cockpit ConnectivityMany aircraft lack available audio input ports for additional safety equipment. The HM Mixer Amp addresses this limitation by acting as a central hub, mixing differential audio from SkyVoice Alert, Absolute AoA, and a Bluetooth source into a single output.This combined signal can be routed into a single existing audio panel port or use the integrated power amplifier to drive a dedicated 5-watt cockpit speaker if no ports are available. Designed for noise immunity and rugged GA environments, it ensures that critical alerts are heard clear and intelligible regardless of aircraft's panel configuration.Enhanced SkyVoice Systems: Smarter Alerts, Stronger ConnectivityHoly Micro also announced upgrades to its SkyVoice product line, improving connectivity, pilot control, and intelligent alerting for critical phases of flight.SkyVoice Alert 500A LiDAR-based takeoff and landing height announcer with a 590-ft range and repeated gear warnings until gear is down andamp; locked. Advanced Mode enables additional reminders based on AGL, MSL, and run-time. It also includes improved Bluetooth connectivity and refined software algorithms with signal noise suppression and smoothing for more accurate altitude readings, with a 1,000-ft range version in development.SkyVoice Glassy Guide 400Designed for seaplanes and amphibious aircraft, this RADAR-based system provides precise AGL callouts from 400 ft to 1 ft over water. Advanced Mode adds additional reminders and enhanced smartphone-like Bluetooth pairing.Visit HolyMicro/SkyVoice/Absolute AoA at SUN 'n FUN Hangar B, Booths 27 andamp; 28.
