For example:

if I pitch the airplane up, but also increase power and am able to maintain the same speed, then no, the AoA hasn’t changed, although it may have varied in the transition between one situation and the other. And yes, I’ll probably be climbing, although there are exceptions, becuase…

if I pitch the airplane up, but also increase power and am able to maintain the same speed, then no, the AoA hasn’t changed, although it may have varied in the transition between one situation and the other. And yes, I’ll probably be climbing, although there are exceptions, becuase… if I pitch up, slow down, and maintain the same altitude, then undoubtedly the AoA has increased. Flying slower reduces the amount of lift generated. An increased AoA gets that back so I can maintain the altitude.

Can someone explain these situations why exactly are they producing different results in AoA?

Can someone explain these what is going on in terms of forces? enter image description here Please explain in reference with these forces ( in the pic )

Are we changing the angle of attack by changing the pitch of an aircraft?
