In straight and level flight with a constant engine performance, the angle of attack (AoA) is typically smaller than in a climb. This is because in straight and level flight, the lift produced by the wings is balanced with the weight of the aircraft. As a result, the aircraft is flying efficiently with less need for a high AoA to generate excess lift. However, during a climb, the aircraft is working against gravity, so a higher AoA is needed to generate more lift and maintain altitude or ascend.
