Tiger-II Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi, Has something changed recently with AB light-off at high AoA? When flying at relatively low speed and against the AoA limiter, I can no longer engage AB without reducing AoA to below +15 degrees?

The engine cannot get enough air to use AB in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
