mmmm.......

Wing Loading (A/c Weight)
An increase in weight will require a higher AoA to provide the same lift.

Aerofoil Section (inluding whether additional lift devices, such as flaps, or if spoilers, are deployed)
Fairly obvious that changing the configuration of the wing is going to alter the stalling AoA.

Any icing / surface degradation (such as flies / dents) on the mainplane
Same comment as above. Anything that reduces the efficiency of the wing is going to require an increased AoA to produce more lift and stop the thing from sinking.

A of A
agreed

Manoeuvering Loads
How pray do you apply them without changing AoA? Increased wing loading=increased AoA, decreased wing loading=reduced AoA.

Air Temp / Density
As above, lower air density will require increased AoA to provide the same lift.
