No, you just need an angle of attack sensor. These are increasingly available for small GA planes.


You need an AoA sensor to see if you are currently stalling or are just about to stall. To predict if you will stall at a specific point in your approach before you’re there, you need to know your weight, too.


stall AoA depends on flaps though?


Yes, and some sensors do take flaps position into account (or you compromise and have it display the AoA with a typical approach setting).
