• Calculated from angle of attack and inertial data - AOA – voted dual sensors plus inertial data
- Accurate Coefficient of Lift (CL) - Airplane Mass from FMC - Validated after Takeoff
• Algorithm developed for enhanced stall protection
• Avoid displaying data known to be bad
- Loss of valid voted VCAS = Display synthetic airspeed VSYN
- Loss of valid voted PSTATIC = Display GPS altitude
