OAA — One Action Acceleration

OAA ('One Action Acceleration-system') is APCO's speed system on reflex wings: per the manufacturer, the speed bar lets you 'accelerate to the maximum in one swift motion' — the fastest possible transition between trim speed and full acceleration.

Also known as: OAA · One Action Acceleration

What the manufacturer says

From the APCO manual: “OAA is an innovative system that stands for ‘One Action Acceleration-system’.” On the product pages:

“Choose the speed bar and the OAA system will allow you to accelerate to the maximum in one swift motion!”

For the NRG III, APCO describes the purpose as: “OAA — designed to allow the fastest possible transition between trim speed to fully accelerated and back to trim speed.”

Operation per the manual

  • To activate, the Brummel hooks below the trimmers are unlocked; before accelerating, the trimmers belong at the neutral position (blue mark).
  • “Basically when using OAA the trimmers should be at zero position and not opened completely.”
  • Flying with OAA locked and wanting maximum speed means fully opening the trimmers first — the speed bar then needs more force.

Where it is used

OAA is part of the riser/speed system of the reflex models F1 MKII and NRG III — details are in the respective manuals.
