Aviate Navigate Communicate.
Its interesting to hear peoples view on in-cockpit audio and its
usefulness.
I am currently one of the Project Leads in Project GAINS which is
looking at the use of Electronic Conspicuity Devices in a busy airfield
environment.
One of the issues we have consistent feedback about is the increased
audio warnings from traffic alerts and conflicting with radio calls from
the ground and also other pilots increasing confusion and pilot
workload.
That said an AoA warning would be, in my opinion, meeting the aviate
criteria and therefore important to have prominance however how do
pilots balance and indeed deselect those audio warning that are
intrusive and distracting rather than life-saving.

original AOA probe, which I think he fabricated himself by slipping a
slightly wider aluminium pipe over the original probe, and chamfering
the front end to match the angle required for an AOA probe. I fitted
this to the inspection panel on the starboard wing, after replacing the
acrylic cover with a metal cover, and used this for my Dyson Skyview AOA
gauge, and it works well. Fortunately, I had some unnecessary wiring
running through the wing which I used to feed through the necessary
tubing. I have attached a couple of photos.

the June 2014 LAA Magazine by David Joyce, and I must say I find the
audio prompting from this great, and would thoroughly recommend it, to
augment the AOA function.
