Calculate angle-of-attack
1 | calcAttack(PITCH, VSPD, TASX)
|
PITCH |
The pitch angle in degrees |
VSPD |
The rate of climb of the aircraft in m/s |
TASX |
The true airspeed of the aircraft in m/s |
Assumes vertical wind = 0, finds AOA from pitch, VSPD and TASX. Used to provide a reference value for calibrating gust probes. The radome "calibration" coefficients are usually determined by fitting to reference values provided by this function, so it should be used where it is expected that the vertical wind is zero or averages to zero.
