its geometrie: in still air if the flightpath = chord angle (mayby + 3 deg....) than pitch attitude= AoA
Yeah, I got that; but the flight path is horizontal at the top of the path.
You could only get pitch = AoA in horizontal flight if there is an upward wind.
Maybe there was and that's what helped to get the plane up there in the first place.
