LN400's post in Angle of attack for rockets? was marked as the answer September 12, 2016

The AoA for a rocket is simply the angle between the longitudinal axis (the center marker on your nav ball) and the direction of flight (the prograde marker).

Basically, what it means is: Keep the nose of the rocket centered on the prograde marker.
