Angle of attack is not related to any of the items that you list. You could be approaching stall even while your altitude is increasing (2), while you are at a high speed (3), at less than 1 G (5) etc.
I'm not sure you quite understand what a stall is. A great resource I can recommend is a book called See How it Flies (http://www.av8n.com/how/ http://www.av8n.com/how/).
- zepearl 8y agoI never mentioned "stall"... . EDIT: expanding: I understand "stall" as an end-result, and AoA as one of the sensors that might be an indicator of a "stall" EDIT2: thx for that URL => I'll have a look at it - looks very interesting.
- avionicsguy 8y agoActually from the link you provided, airspeed is absolutely a quantitative indicator of a stall. "The airspeed indicator provides quantitative information about angle of attack, when the airspeed is not too low. Correction factors must be applied to correct for nonstandard weight and/or load factors.3"
- bbojan 8y agoAbsolutely quantitative except when airspeed is low, when weight is non-standard and when load factor is not 1. I guess you and I disagree on the definition of "absolutely".
