Pitch俯仰
Pitch is the rotation of an aircraft about its lateral axis, moving the nose up or down while the aircraft remains in the same heading; it directly affects angle of attack, climb, descent, and stall behavior. Translators encounter pitch mainly in flight manuals, autopilot vertical modes, control-law explanations, simulator setup screens, and performance charts, where it must be kept distinct from yaw, roll, and flight-path angle.

Where this term appears
Pitch shows up in flight crew operating manuals, autopilot altitude-hold and vertical-speed sections, flight-control system descriptions, performance tables, and training material for takeoff, climb, descent, and stall recovery. Localizers also see it in cockpit display labels, UAV app controls, and simulator tooltips where pitch angle or pitch trim values must be consistent.
Translation checks
A frequent mistake is conflating pitch with angle of attack or flight-path angle. Pitch refers to aircraft attitude relative to the horizon, whereas angle of attack is the wing's angle to the airflow; using them interchangeably can introduce errors in stall warnings, performance text, and autopilot mode documentation.
Keep the term aligned across your files
