A method for determining an aircraft angle-of-attack for aircraft stall protection includes providing an output signal from an angle-of-attack sensor and determining an initial angle-of-attack signal based on the output signal. The initial angle-of-attack signal is compensated to provide a pseudo angle-of-attack signal, and the pseudo angle-of-attack signal is mapped to a true angle-of-attack signal based on flight test data. The true angle-of-attack signal is compensated based on roll rate and sideslip or estimated sideslip to provide a compensated angle-of-attack. A complementary filter is applied that complements the compensated angle-of-attack signal with a higher frequency inertial angle-of-attack rate signal, calculated from aircraft inertial data, to provide an angle-of-attack complementary filter output. An angle-of-attack threshold for aircraft stall protection is determined based on one or more compensation parameters. Activation of aircraft stall protection is determined based on the angle-of-attack complementary filter output compared with the angle-of-attack threshold.
