Before deciding, consider the probe\u2019s design and mounting location:<br>Vertical Orientation&nbsp;\u2013 Unlike most AoA probes (which are horizontal or angled), the Absolute AoA probe is mounted vertically, with openings angled straight up. This prevents water from pooling, as any moisture drains away naturally.<br>Optimal Placement&nbsp;\u2013 While many AoA probes are installed near the leading edge, the Absolute AoA probe is recommended to be mounted farther back, closer to the wing\u2019s center chord. This reduces exposure to ice and rain.<br>Given these design advantages, heating may not be necessary\u2014but the option remains available to your A&amp;P if desired.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) <strong>Why Choose the Optional 5- Watt 8 ohm DO-160 compliant Voice<br>Range Speaker certified as part of the NORSEE approval with the Absolute AoA Kit from Holy Micro!
