Narrative:

The new aoa documentation and training lacks details of what we are actually seeing with regards to aoa display; and what they mean to the pilot in terms of aircraft aoa. [Flight manual] documentation just shows what the aoa display looks like; and if in error shows amber fault. What it does not do is tell us what the numbers mean in relation to the aircraft aoa. What does a six mean? A two? Or any other number?
