that's why the B52 lifts off in level attitude and plows slightly nose
down at lower altitudes, it was designed to all come together at

irated engines, then apply the wrong term by interpreting it as AOA
rather than AOI.
That should make it about as clear as mud. :o)

John, your statement is correct.
Cruising at higher altitudes usually creates a situation where you are flying
at a higher Angle of Incidence. Pilots often times incorrectly inter
s AOA
rather than AOI.

"cruising at higher altitudes lowers the AofA for a given indicated
airspeed".
I think the above statement is incorrect.
The weight of an aircraft and lift required to support it does not change
with altitude. Lift is proportional to airspeed, AoA, density and wing
