CoolP,

Even though the 727 had an AOA probe, our planes did not display AOA to the pilot. The AOA information was sent to the stall computer and generated stall warning to the pilot. We did have a slow/fast pointer in the ADI that was part of the stall computer, but it was just used as a check to see how the speed for the flap setting looked.

The 727 at around 130,000# and at 130KTS ( just a bit fast ) would have about a three degree nose up attitude while on glide slope.
The highest pitch angle - in level flight -  was 10 degrees nose up, with flaps 5 degrees at 180 or so KTS. We tried not to fly around too much at this high deck angle since it was not easy to see traffic.

Having never flown with AOA I can't say what would happen exactly, but it stands to reason that at a certain weight and power setting you could fly a pitch angle and do pretty well flying the plane. This was a procedure we had in case we lost our airspeed indicators or loss of the radome.
