First Officer Take Off

Featured Replies

Hello Bryan,Just an observation with the FO take off,I have just completed an ICUS take off at LHR (TWR was online and very accomadating).I only had one issue, that was after take off the FO did not seem to be able to control the pitch to maintain airspeed at V+15 - 25 knts.As we took off, the FO rotated smoothly enough, but possibly over rotated to 17

Regards,

Hi Chris,Check your Takeoff Trim. It may have been set too high.For FO takeoffs, the FO will try to maintain a proper pitch attitude within a certain range, but remember that getting the FO to fly the plane is more of an art than a science. If you're in rough weather or your trim is set too high or something, he can still be tripped up.Cheers,Bryan

Hi Bryan,That is what confused me, I thought all of calcs were spot onI did all of the calculations for the reduced weight take off.Actual T/O weight was 133,1 tonnesHeadwind component was 1knt and the x-wind was 10knts winds were actually 190/11 out of LHR and I was using 27R with a DVR5F SID, QNH was 1011 and the temp was 12
