Bob,
Excellent comments on the list
I was a designated examiner & PPE for about 7 years on the CE 500/550 series and along with the FAA used the AOA to see if the applicant had used the "bug card" correctly in figuring his approach speeds. If I recall correctly was 1 Kt per mark on the AOA scale. Tell the appplicant it looked as if he was in error on his approach speeds by a couple knots he would look at you like you were crazy, then refigure and guess what, we were exactly correct, told the applicant to use equipment he had in his plane! Navy pilots lived by AOA, they are among my best customers.
I had a pitot line freeze on a D-50 T-Bon in the late 60's seems a mechanic had bent it to make it easier to attach an engine mount, however just outside the cowling it had made a low spot. I lost all airspeed at about 11,000 in IMC, declared an emergency and descended into Prescott, AZ finally getting airspeed back in final turn in holding pattern prior to approach at 0200 AM Been there done that.
