Question Angle of Attack rule of thumb

Hello there,

Does anybody know of any rule of thumb to calculate the angle of attack for a light aeroplane, given that you know the pitch angle, airspeed, and vertical airspeed?

The reason I ask is that I'm designing a flight simulator for college and I'm having difficulties calculating the angle of attack.

Thanks in advance for any help
