Velocity Vector
D. Use the FLASHING (limited) velocity vector

symbol as a high-AOA alerting device during
aggressive low-speed/high-AOA maneuvers,
such as when going over-the-top during a loop.
If (when) the velocity vector becomes limited
and flashes at the bottom of the HUD, your AOA
will at that precise moment be about 19.5(UNITS)

F. When entering base-turn from down-wind in the
overhead landing pattern, a pilot can use the
velocity vector to confirm initial descent has
