in high lift configurations necessitates a probe placed far (one or more chord lengths) from the wing to avoid induced flow or complex calibration and correction software. It’s common practice to place AOA and angle of sideslip (AOS) vanes on the fuselage‚ near the nose to avoid measuring wing circulation.
