The operation of an angle of attack indicating system is based on detection of differential pressure

At a point parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft.
At a point not parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft.
Within the cockpit only.
Outside the aircraft fuselage only.

The correct answer is: At a point not parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft.

In an angle of attack indicating system, the correct answer is "At a point not parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft." This is because the system works based on detecting the differential pressure between two points on the aircraft that are not parallel to the true angle of attack. This differential pressure helps to determine the angle of attack of the aircraft, which is crucial information for pilots to maintain safe and efficient flight operations. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because the system does not operate at a point parallel to the true angle of attack, within the cockpit only, or outside the aircraft fuselage only. The critical function of the angle of attack indicating system relies on differential pressure measurements taken at specific locations on the aircraft to provide accurate angle of attack information to the pilots.
