WHAT LIFT??

In zero wind??
Dangling at a random angle relative to the horizon? (NOT an AoA because THERE's NO WIND, NO RELATIVE AIRFLOW, REMEMBER!)
What is so difficult to grasp about "There is NO airflow over the airframe. There is NO lift"?

Please, for all our sakes, just give up about the wind - please?


ATP???? Flight instructor??????? SERIOUSLY????????? OMG!
