An aircraft airflow sensor probe configured to correct measurements based on aircraft movement includes a vane assembly configured to sense a direction of local airflow outside an aircraft, at least one accelerometer configured to detect aircraft movement, a sensor configured to sense and output a rotational position of the vane assembly, and an angle of attack processor configured to determine at least a measured angle of attack of the aircraft based on the rotational position of the vane assembly. The angle of attack processor further configured to determine a correction value based on the aircraft movement data provided by the at least one accelerometer and output a corrected angle of attack of the aircraft.
