Neither. The acronym "AoA" is used in place of "angle of attack", which is a technical term referring to the angle with which the airflow meets the airframe. In this case, because the solver uses level flight to solve for approach*, the AoA will be equal to the nose-high pitch angle. * Adding support for a "glide-slope" parameter would, for example, allow gliders to work. They don't right now.
