What happens to the angle of attack when back pressure is applied during a climb?

When back pressure is applied during a climb, the angle of attack increases momentarily. This occurs because pulling back on the control yoke or stick changes the attitude of the aircraft; it raises the nose relative to the relative wind. As the nose rises, the wing is positioned to generate more lift by increasing its angle of attack up to a certain point. An increase in the angle of attack causes the lift to increase, provided it remains within the aerodynamic limits of the airplane.

While the angle of attack is momentarily increased, it is important to manage it correctly to avoid reaching the critical angle of attack, which could lead to a stall. The adjustment of back pressure and its impact on angle of attack is a fundamental aspect of flight training and critical for maintaining safe flight during various maneuvers, including climbs.
