Angle of climb

The angle of climb refers to the angle between the flight path of an aircraft and the horizontal plane during the climb phase after takeoff. It is a critical performance metric for pilots and is typically expressed in degrees. This angle is important for several reasons: 1. **Performance**: The angle of climb helps determine how efficiently an aircraft can gain altitude. A steeper angle of climb can result in a more rapid ascent but may require more power and increase fuel consumption.
