I got to wondering why angle of attack isn't displayed on G1000s & other glass panels. It's a lot more accurate, and I'd think safer, way to fly the proper approach speed for most planes instead of just picking 60 kts (or whatever the usual speed is for your plane) and using that. The speeds shown in most POHs don't cover all the various weights we fly at, as well as other factors. I'd think just about everything needed to know the actual angle of attack is already part of the system, so why not display it?
