Angle of attack does not "include a directional component". It is just an angle, which is a scalar quantity. If what you think is true, then it is possible to determine the AOA when the aircraft is parked. Do so, and I'll revise my thinking. The wonderful thing about this level of mathematics is that it is not ambiguous. If any usage results in a violation of the definition, then the usage is wrong, period. Neil
