SLF question about AoA and pitch attitude
Hello, I hope this isn't too much of a tangent.
I follow these threads mostly to help deal with my SLF flying anxiety, and it really does help. Apologies in advance for sloppy terminology or other ignorance. My O Level physics was a long time ago.
Can anyone clarify something about aircraft stalls for me?
The Wikipedia page on aircraft upset, allegedly quoting an FAA manual, suggests that "pitch attitude" is one critical factor in stall conditions. This has confused me because, following this and other similar threads here, I thought the critical factor was not pitch (which I understand as the lengthwise inclination of the aircraft relative to the horizontal plane) but angle of attack (which I understand as, roughly speaking, the angle of the wing to the airflow).
Thanks to anyone with the mercy and patience to respond.
