Re: stall warner at high speed during aeros?

Angle of attack is the angle between the mean chord line and the surrounding airflow (effectively the direction of travel).

Pitch angle (more commonly called incidence) is the angle between the mean chord line and the horizon.

They're clearly connected, but it's best to regard them as totally separate entities.
