What is the flight path angle of the airplane when the flight path vector is positioned at the attitude indicator horizon line?

When the flight path vector aligns with the horizon line on the attitude indicator, it indicates that the airplane is neither climbing nor descending. This means that the vertical component of the flight path is zero, signifying level flight. Consequently, the flight path angle—which represents the angle between the horizontal plane and the flight path—is 0 degrees.

In this situation, while the airplane maintains a steady altitude, it is flying straight ahead without any vertical movement, which is why the correct answer is 0 degrees. This alignment of the flight path vector with the horizon line suggests a stable flight condition, allowing pilots to maintain spatial awareness and control of the aircraft. Other angles would indicate a climb or descent, which is not the case when aligned at the horizon.
