From the manual here are the flight procedures to be flown to calibrate AOA:

Minimum Visible AOA Calibration ("1.5 x stall speed is suggested")

Caution Alert AOA Calibration ("1.1 x stall speed is suggested")

Stall warning AOA Calibration - Prepare for a power off stall

However, "stall speed" is not defined, are these to be flown VS (clean) or VSO (flaps out, gear extended)? Or does it even matter which one you chose since we're measuring lift and not speed anyway?
 
Is yours certified? Mine’s exp. I can choose what speeds I want other than the stall, which the G3X sets by running a stall series. The only thing that makes sense to me is landing configuration so full flaps.

What I wonder about is why not with normal landing power on? I discussed it with my aerospace engineer buddy and he figures the AOA at the wing is probably the same. That has me scratching my head, but I don’t know what I don’t know.
