Pitch angle Calculator

The pitch angle of an aircraft refers to the angle at which the longitudinal axis of the aircraft deviates from the horizontal plane. It indicates whether the aircraft’s nose is pointing upwards (positive pitch) or downwards (negative pitch) relative to the horizontal. The pitch angle of an aircraft is also commonly known as the attitude angle or the nose-up/nose-down angle.

Where:

• θ_pitch​ is the pitch angle (degrees).
• V_vertical​ is the vertical velocity component of the aircraft (m/s or ft/s).
• $V$ is the airspeed of the aircraft (m/s or ft/s).
