SPECIAL AIRWORTHINESS INFORMATION BULLETIN
This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) provides information to help general
aviation aircraft owners and operators understand the importance and safety benefits of angle of
attack (AOA) alerting systems on aircraft type certificated under title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 and operating under 14 CFR parts 121, 135, or 91. Increasing
awareness of the benefits of these alerting systems may reduce the risk for loss-of-control (LOC)
incidents and accidents. The SAIB Attachment contains more information on low airspeed alerting,
AOA, and aircraft energy states.
At this time, the airworthiness concern is not an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness
directive (AD) action under 14 CFR part 39.
Meet Dan Wheeler.
With over 45 years of experience in the commercial aviation and avionics industry, Dan Wheeler is excited to join Hillcrest Aircraft Company (HAC) as the Avionics Department Manager. HAC, a respected and innovative company based at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport since 1956, has a long history of industry achievements. Dan's career began as an apprentice with a bush airline in British Columbia, where he gained the skills necessary for success in avionics. This journey led to co-founding Northern Airborne Technology and later establishing Island Avionics, where Dan honed his expertise in audio system integration. Now, he is eager to apply this knowledge and experience to serve HAC's current and future customers and contribute to the aviation community in this region.
